Page 23: Section 1 - Getting Started
Section Getting Started This section contains the basic information needed for working with EDIUS such as numeric data input, EDIUS license issues, starting EDIUS, creating user profiles and projects presets, and, screen layout and customi- zation. Topics dealing with the use of EDIUS tools, features and functions (e.g. application settings, capturing clips, Timeline editing, titles and effects, audio operation and exporting projects) used in creating projects are covered in other sections of this manual.
Page 24: Startup Without Usb Key License
Section 1 — Getting Started Startup Without USB Key License The license for EDIUS is contained on the USB key that came in the box with the product DVD. If EDIUS is started without the USB key inserted in a USB port on the host computer, the message shown in Figure 2 appears.
Page 25: Starting The License Transfer Tool
Starting EDIUS WARNING If the license is transferred to a PC and the hard drive on which the license is stored becomes corrupted or fails with no backup, the license may be irretrievably lost. WARNING When a license is transferred to a PC, changing major PC components such as CPU, memory, motherboard, hard drive, NIC, etc.
Page 26: Transfer License To Pc Local Disk
Section 1 — Getting Started Transfer License to PC Local Disk 1. Select the USB to PC tab in the dialog box. 2. Select the license to transfer from the list that appears in the USB to PC tab. 3. Click the button to execute the license transfer.

Page 31: Arrow Key Input
Entering Numeric Data 2. Enter the desired offset value. A “+” before the value increments the timecode by the specified value. A “-” before the value decrements the timecode by the specified value. Note If the timecode value in a particular field is 00:05:35;20 (5 minutes, 35 sec- onds, 20 frames), entering an offset value of +2510 will increment the time- code value to 00:06:01;00 (assuming a 30 frame per second video standard).
Page 32: Start-Up Window

Page 753: Appendix B - Special Procedures
Appendix Special Procedures This appendix explains special procedures that are possible using the tools and features of EDIUS. Keyframeable 2D Picture-in-Picture Unlike other keyframe operations, the Motion Keyframe function in the Picture in Picture (PIP) effect is not time based. This procedure documents the use of the Motion Keyframe in creating a keyframeable PIP effect.
Page 754 Appendix B — Special Procedures Figure 889. Keyframeable 2D PIP - Recorder Preview 4. Open the Picture in Picture effect settings by double clicking the Picture in Picture effect in the effects list of the Information Palette. The Picture in Picture settings dialog shown in Figure 890 opens.
Page 755 Keyframeable 2D Picture-in-Picture 5. Move the cursor to the edge of the PIP image and the cursor will change to a resize cursor as illustrated in Figure 890 (upper left corner of the PIP image. Click the left mouse button and drag the cursor to resize the PIP image as desired.
Page 756 Appendix B — Special Procedures 9. Move the End image if desired by positioning the cursor over the square in the middle of the image (an orange outline around the square will appear). Click and drag the square to the new center location for the End frame.
Page 757 Keyframeable 2D Picture-in-Picture Note Unless the intermediate keyframe position (framed in orange) happens to be exactly at the center point of the motion path, the middle of the clip does not correspond to the intermediate keyframe position. With the Timeline cursor positioned in the middle of the clip, the middle of the clip is at the center point of the motion path as illustrated in Figure...
Page 758 Appendix B — Special Procedures Figure 894. Keyframeable 2D PIP - Motion Keyframe Tab As noted in Figure 894. the Motion Keyframe tab displays the following information: • Vertical Red Line - Timeline cursor position • Horizontal Red Line(s) - Intermediate keyframe positions Note If there is more than one intermediate keyframe, there will be a red horizontal line for each intermediate keyframe.
Page 759 Keyframeable 2D Picture-in-Picture As shown in Figure 895, this is the point at which the center of the image is at the intermediate keyframe position. Figure 895. Keyframeable 2D PIP - Image at Intermediate Keyframe Position 16. Click somewhere on the graph other than the end points of the grey line or the point where the red lines intersect.
Page 760 Appendix B — Special Procedures Figure 896. Keyframeable 2D PIP - Intermediate Keyframe Moved By changing the point at which the grey line intersects the horizontal red line, the movement progression from the Start point to the End point changes. When the grey line crosses a horizontal red line, the PIP images hits a defined keyframe.
Page 761 Keyframeable 2D Picture-in-Picture Figure 897. Keyframeable 2D PIP - Two Nodes Flat on Grey Line 21. Move the Timeline cursor through the clip. Notice how the clip holds at the intermediate keyframe position while the cursor moves through the area in which the grey line is riding the red hor- izontal line.
Page 762 Appendix B — Special Procedures Figure 898. Keyframeable 2D PIP - Node Under Red Horizontal Line 25. Click in the PIP preview window to add a new keyframe. As shown in Figure 899, another red horizontal line appears on the motion keyframe graph and the previous End keyframe position becomes an inter- mediate keyframe.
Page 763 Keyframeable 2D Picture-in-Picture Figure 899. Keyframeable 2D PIP - New End Keyframe 26. Move the nodes on the grey line to adjust the points at which the grey line intersects the red horizontal lines. These intersection points correspond to timecodes in the clip at which the PIP image hits keyframes.
