Chapter 7 Managing clip media

• Media outside the clip marks is erased except that portion referenced by a

subclip, playlist event, or program.

• All subclips and events generated from the source clip retain 1 second of media

before the mark-in and after the mark-out.

• Event-in becomes the first video frame of the file

• Event-out becomes the last video frame of the file

• Clip length becomes the total file length.

Understanding field dominance

In interlaced video, each frame is composed of two fields. In Grass Valley systems

such as K2, video is field-1 dominant; each frame consists of field 1 followed by field

2. For example, when you navigate through the clip to the beginning, the K2 system

goes to field 1. When you navigate through a clip to the end, K2 goes to field 2.

The in point of any trimmed clip always starts at field 1 of a frame. The out point of

a trimmed clip is always one frame past the stop point of the clip. For example, if the

last playable frame is 01:15:00,04 then the out-point mark is 01:15:00;05.
