EDIUS — User Reference Guide
The majority of the work done an any EDIUS project is accomplished on the
Timeline. Clips are placed on the Timeline for editing and adding transi-
tions effects and titles. When the project is finished, it is exported to the
final format for viewing.
The sections which precede this section focused on understanding the
various interface elements of EDIUS, adjusting settings which affect the
way you work, managing clips and capturing source material for use in
EDIUS. With an understanding of these concepts, you are now ready to
begin using EDIUS tools to create your video projects.
Editing is the process of positioning, moving, deleting, copying, modi-
fying, trimming and marking clips on the Timeline in order to produce the
final project. After editing is complete, transitions, effects and titles are
added before the final project is exported as a completed work. This section
focuses on the tasks associated with the editing process.
When performing operations on the Timeline, Timeline settings determine
the behavior of many of those operations. With some settings, there are
interdependencies; in other words, the behavior of setting B may be depen-
dent upon the configuration of setting A. The explanations below cover the
various Timeline settings and any interdependencies which may exist
between these settings.
These settings affect the behavior of editing operations on the Timeline.
With insert mode enabled, adding a new clip moves any existing clips at
the insertion point forward in time to accommodate the new clip. The
length of the sequence is increased by the length of the inserted clip (see
Figure 306). Default = On.
