The H:M:S:F timeline shows the in and out points, plus the current position of the pointer. The graphic shows the
playout portion of the video essence (i.e. the portion between the in and out points) in green.
When a clip is first created, the IN and OUT for playback of the video essence correspond to the first and last frames
of the essence as saved in the HMP-1801 memory.
This panel allows the user to move those points in order to optimize the presentation of the video.
The process is straight-forward:
Move the POINTER to the desired IN point:
•
Use the Go IN and Go OUT buttons to move directly to the current IN and OUT points
•
Click-and-drag to use the mouse to move the pointer
•
Use the [-5, -1, +1, +5] buttons to move the pointer in 1 or 5 frame increments in the desired direction
View the video to base the IN or OUT point selection on scene content.
•
The video corresponding to the pointer position is visible at the output when in this mode, allowing the in and
out points to be selected to frame accuracy based on scene content
When the desired point has been found:
•
Click Set IN to set the current pointer location as the IN point
•
Click Set OUT to set the current pointer location as the OUT point
Confirm the choices you have made in one of two ways:
•
Click TRIM to save the IN and OUT points, but leave the essence itself untouched
You can go back and revise the IN and OUT points later
•
Click CUT to crop the essence to match the IN and OUT points
The video that came before the new IN and after the new OUT is removed from the essence, so you cannot
go back later and move the IN earlier or the OUT later
Delete:
remove the selected Clip List from the list and delete it from the HMP-1801’s memory.
