FILE OPERATIONS

Click Add to open a custom Media Browser.

Drag (appropriate type) file(s) from one module’s playlist to another module.

Right-click in the playlist pane to show a context menu with relevant items from the following list:

Cut

Copy

Paste

Remove

*Rename

Clone

Set Duration (Stills and titles)

Edit Title

Set Audio Level

Standard (system) Cut, Copy, Paste and Delete keystrokes are supported. Un-playable (missing, corrupt, or

unsupported) file icons are ‘ghosted’.

*Rename creates a local alias, or ‘playlist nickname’. It does not actually change the name of the file on
your hard drive. (Roll the mouse over the Alias in the icon header to see the filename.)

SCRUB BAR

Just beneath the playlist pane is a full-width Scrub Bar. Its width represents the full run time of the selected
item. Drag the knob left or right to change position in the file.

Figure 40

Initially, In and Out Point handles at opposite ends of the Scrub-Bar mark the full limits of the file on disk.
Dragging these handles edits the In and Out points (multi-selections are ignored). The (trimmed) duration is
displayed in a timecode field just to the right.

Hint: For longer durations, holding SHIFT while dragging In/Out handles increases precision.

CONTROLS

Transport controls and related features are located directly below the Scrub Bar.
