splits A method of delivering an audio mix of programs destined for foreign language
distribution, typically using a multitrack audio recorder. Separate mixes for dialogue,
music, and sound effects are recorded to separate pairs of audio tracks to make redubbing
the dialogue and remixing it back together easier.
static region An area in a sequence in the Timeline that you lock so that it is visible even
when you scroll to see other tracks. It can contain audio tracks, video tracks, or both.
When you create a static region, you get three regions in the Timeline: a top, scrollable
region for the other video tracks, a middle static region, and a bottom scrollable region
for the other audio tracks. You can’t scroll up or down in the static region, but you can
resize it to accommodate more or fewer tracks.
stereo, stereo pair Short for stereophonic, in which audio contains two different channels.
Items in a stereo pair are linked and are always edited together. Audio level changes are
automatically made to both channels at the same time. A pair of audio items may have
their stereo pairing turned on or turned off at any time. See also

storyboard A series of pictures that summarizes the content, action, and flow of a
proposed project. When the Browser is in icon view, clips can be arranged visually, like a
storyboard. When dragged as a group into the Timeline, the clips are edited together in
the order in which they appear in the Timeline, from left to right and from top to bottom.
straight cut A cut in which both the video and audio clip items are cut at the same time.
streaming The delivery of media over a computer network.
subclip A clip that represents a portion of a clip’s media file.
Super 8 A consumer film format with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
Super 16 A film format for widescreen presentations, with a 15:9 (1.66) aspect ratio. Super
16 is frequently used when shooting a project intended to be blown up to 35 mm.
super-black Black that is darker than the levels allowed by the NTSC or ITU-R BT.601
engineering standard for video. The NTSC standard for black is 7.5 IRE in the United States,
and 0 IRE for PAL and for NTSC in Japan. For example, in the United States, 0 IRE is
considered super-black.
superimpose edit An edit in which a source clip item is placed into a track above a clip
item that’s already in the Timeline at the position of the playhead. If no In or Out points
are set in the Timeline and Canvas, the previously edited clip’s In and Out points are used
to define the duration of the incoming clip. Superimpose edits are used to overlay titles
and text onto video, as well as to create other compositing effects.
super-white White that is brighter than 100 IRE, the maximum level allowed by the ITU-R
BT.601 engineering standard for video.
