Double Clicking to Cancel a Logging Event
To log an event:
1 On the Event Logging panel, select an annotation template in the Annotation
Template box.
The Event Logging panel displays the set of event-type buttons specified in the
template.
2 When the logging period starts, check the timecode display is white and the event-
type buttons are active.
3 Do one of the following to mark an event.
• If you want to use an event-type button in the standard mode, click In when you
see the first frame of the event; click Out when you see the last frame of the event;
click an event-type button. SmartClient displays the timecode values of these
frames after the buttons.
• If you want to use an event-type button in the open mode, double-click an event-
type button when you see the first frame of the event; click the button when you
see the last frame of the event.
SmartClient creates an event. It adds a business-metadata section to the Event
Logging panel; it adds an entry for the event to the Events tab.
4 Enter metadata for the event either on the Event Logging panel or the Events tab.
5 Click Save to save the clip, or Save Copy to save a copy of the clip.
Double Clicking to Cancel a Logging Event
In Live and Event Logging, open ended events can be created manually by double clicking
the pre-created event button.
If the user then decides the event has been created in error a further double click after the
event has started will now cancel the event and remove it from the system.
Previously, if a user began logging an event in error it could only be deleted by selecting it
in the scratch pad or events tab and clicking the button.
A single click will end the event manually.
Applying Offset Handles to Open Ended Live Logging
Live event logging applies the offset handles (as set in the template) to open ended live
events.
In live logging, a single clicked event is created with a fixed duration, with offset handles
added to the duration.
A double clicked live event is open ended - it has no outpoint until the user manually clicks
the event button again - the button turns red and a clock on the button counts the duration
until the event is stopped manually.
