468 Glossary
render status bars Two slim horizontal bars, at the top of the Timeline, that indicate
which parts of the sequence need to be rendered. The top bar is for video and the
bottom for audio. Different colors indicate the render or real-time playback status of a
given section of the Timeline.
replace edit A specialized form of overwrite edit which aligns the frame at the
playhead of the Viewer clip to the frame at the playhead of the sequence clip, replacing
only the content of the sequence clip, even if no In or Out points are set. This is useful
for replacing clips based on matching a common visual event in the frame, such as a
slate closing or an actor’s movement.
reset timecode break A break that results in a tape’s timecode being reset to
00:00:00:00. See also timecode.
resize edit An edit in which the duration of a clip in the Timeline is changed by
moving its In or Out point.
Resize pointer A cross-shaped pointer with small arrows pointing left and right that
indicate the directions in which an edit point can be moved. The Resize pointer appears
when you move the pointer to the boundary of a clip item or transition in the Timeline.
reverse shot A typical example of a reverse shot is a cut to the second person in a
conversation; for example, an interviewer asking the next question after the
interviewee has finished speaking.
RGB Abbreviation for Red, Green, and Blue. A color space commonly used on
computers in which each color is described by the strength of its red, green, and blue
components. This color space directly translates to the red, green, and blue phosphors
used in computer monitors. The RGB color space has a very large gamut, meaning it
can reproduce a very wide range of colors. This range is typically larger than the range
that can be reproduced for broadcast.
ripple edit An edit in which the start and end times of a range of clips on a track are
adjusted when the duration of an earlier clip is altered.
roll edit An edit that affects two clips that share an edit point. For example, if Clip A
cuts to Clip B, a roll edit simultaneously adjusts the Out point of Clip A and the In point
of Clip B by the same amount. The overall duration of the sequence stays the same.
room tone The low level of background noise that exists in any recording. In order to
edit out unwanted sections of audio without creating obvious gaps of silence, it’s
common practice to record a certain amount of extra room tone during a shoot. You
can edit in the room tone whenever you need to cover a gap that was cut in the
location audio.
rotation In the Motion tab of the Viewer, the rotation value determines how many
times a clip circles around its center axis, without changing shape.
