Creating Subclips
Drop frame
– The drop frame option is available when system timing is set to 525
line standard (drop frame is a timecode adjustment that applies to NTSC video
only). Drop frame allows the timecode track to indicate the actual running time of
the clip. Drop-frame time code yields precise running times, but frames are not all
numbered sequentially. A frame number must be dropped periodically to keep the
clock right.
Renaming a clip in the Player application
1. In the Control view, select the clip name control .
2. Enter the new clip name.
3. Click
OK
, or press
Enter
.
Creating Subclips
A subclip is a clip created by referencing a portion of media from another clip. For
example, if you recorded a two hour clip, you could create several short subclips to
use as previews or advertisements. Each subclip refers to a small portion of the
original clip and is listed along with all other clips in the clips pane. When working
with subclips, the original clip is sometimes called the source clip. After creating
subclips, you can delete the source clip.
Subclips created from a clip that is still recording can only have a mark-out equal to
the last frame that has been recorded when the subclip is created. You cannot create
a subclip longer than what has been recorded with the assumption the media will “fill
in”. You can create subclips from a clip being recorded in loop record mode. In loop
record mode, media referenced by the subclips is retained while unreferenced media
is discarded.
You can load subclips in the Control view and edit the mark-in/mark-out points the
same as a clip, provided the unreferenced source media has not been erased.
NOTE: If the source media has been erased, the subclip retains 1 second of media on
each side of the mark-in and mark-out points. See “Moving clip mark-in/mark-out
points” on page 54 .
The following sections describe how to create subclips:
• “To create subclips” on page 75

• “Creating subclips in Cue view” on page 77
