4.15 CONSOLIDATING A PART OF A TIMELINE
4.15.1 ‘REPLACE’ VERSUS ‘CREATE CLIP FROM TIMELINE’
The Replace function and the Create Clip from Timeline function both make it
possible to consolidate and replace a part of the timeline. However both functions
follow different purposes and methods.
REPLACE FUNCTION
The Replace function aims at replacing a part of a timeline by the initial A/V
material as well as A/V effects added by external devices. Typical use is to add
graphical effects inside a video track or to add mixed audio as voice-over to an
audio track.
With the Replace function, the output:
• overwrites the initial timeline material,
• cannot be saved as a separate clip (and is therefore only available in the
timeline),
• is only available at the end of the Replace process.
CREATE CLIP FROM TIMELINE FUNCTION
The Create Clip from Timeline function aims at replacing a part of a timeline that
includes several effects defined in IPEdit. This allows the consolidation of the A/V
material in the timeline. Typical use is to consolidate several consecutive small
timeline elements into a single clip, to ensure a smooth playout.
With the Create Clip from Timeline function, the output:
• overwrites or not the initial timeline material,
• is saved as a separate clip (and can therefore be used outside the timeline),
• is directly available as a growing clip in IPDirector.
