4.8 EXTENDING TIMELINE ELEMENTS
4.8.1 INTRODUCTION
DEFINITION
The Extend function consists of extending a timeline element by redefining its IN
point (Extend IN) or OUT point (Extend OUT).
This function will apply to the element that is in Extend mode, in other words:
• to the element located after the mark IN that is placed to perform an Extend IN.
• to the element located before the mark OUT that is placed to perform an Extend
OUT.
The length of the next or previous element will be impacted in Overwrite mode.
EXTEND VERSUS EXTEND SLOW/FAST
The material in the extended timeline element can be modified in two ways:
• The standard Extend function will add media on the element extension without
changing the speed.
• The Extend Slow/Fast function will stretch the existing material of the element
to fit in the new length. The playout speed of the whole element will be adapted
accordingly.
LIMITS FOR THE STANDARD EXTEND
The elements can be extended up to the limits of the media still available before
the IN point and after the OUT point of the timeline element:
• If a record train including the timeline element is still available, the element can
be extended beyond the Protect IN and Protect OUT of the clip, up to the limits
of the A/V material available.
• If only the source clip of the timeline element is available, the element can only
be extended up to the Protect IN or Protect OUT of the source clip.
EXAMPLE OF EXTEND
In the example below, the user wants to extend the point OUT of a timeline
element and reduce the next element in the timeline.
This means that the Extend function is applied:
• to the OUT point of the timeline element
• in Overwrite mode
