Tracking the Clip Position During Playback
Two features on the Media Viewer reflect the changing position of a video clip during
playback:
• The timeline cursor moves to show the relative position of the currently displayed
frame.
• The timecode display in the image window shows the timecode of this frame.
Playing Out Audio
The Media Viewer includes two features for controlling playout of the audio content of a
media file: a mute button and a volume slider.
These control playout of the audio you hear at your SmartClient workstation; they do not
affect the audio content in a video clip.
To control audio playout:
1 Click the mute button to alternately switch the audio playout off or on.
2 Drag the volume slider or click a point on its scale to vary the volume level.
Marking the Boundary Points for a Clip, Event or Shot
In most cases, a video clip references only a portion of the available media in a media file;
the same is true for an event in the clip and a shot in a project clip. In each case, the
required media is defined by boundary points - an in-point and an out-point - that identify
the first and last frames based on their timecodes.
The in-point and out-point markers on the control bar show the current marked boundary
points. For video clips and shots, the Media Viewer displays triangular in- and out-point
markers below the duration timeline:
