Timeline Operations
The majority of the work done an any EDIUS Neo project is accomplished
on the Timeline. Clips are placed on the Timeline for editing and adding
transitions effects and titles. When the project is finished, it is exported to
the final format for viewing.
The sections which precede this section focused on understanding the
various interface elements of EDIUS Neo, adjusting settings which affect
the way you work, managing clips and capturing source material for use in
EDIUS Neo. With an understanding of these concepts, you are now ready
to begin using EDIUS Neo tools to create your video projects.
Editing is the process of positioning, moving, deleting, copying, modi-
fying, trimming and marking clips on the Timeline in order to produce the
final project. After editing is complete, transitions, effects and titles are
added before the final project is exported as a completed work. This section
focuses on the tasks associated with the editing process.
Timeline Settings
When performing operations on the Timeline, Timeline settings determine
the behavior of many of those operations. With some settings, there are
interdependencies; in other words, the behavior of setting B may be depen-
dent upon the configuration of setting A. The explanations below cover the
various Timeline settings and any interdependencies which may exist
between these settings.
Edit Settings
These settings affect the behavior of editing operations on the Timeline.
Insert Mode
With insert mode enabled, adding a new clip moves any existing clips at
the insertion point forward in time to accommodate the new clip. The
length of the sequence is increased by the length of the inserted clip (see
Figure 234 ). Default = On.
