MEDIASTUDIO PRO USER GUIDE
Changing the speed of clips
After splitting the audio from a video clip, click Clip: Speed (or right-click
the clip and select Speed) to alter how fast a video plays back and creates
fast and slow motion effects. Increasing the speed of a clip gives it a
shorter duration, while decreasing the speed makes it longer.
Reversing the frames of a clip
Click Clip: Reverse (the Reverse command can also be accessed by right-
clicking the clip) to reverse the position of the frames in a clip and create a
backwards effect. Any audio accompanying the clip wll also be reversed.
Relinking clips
Whenever you open a project, Video Editor performs a cross-check
between the clips in the project and their associated source files. If the
source files are missing, the Relink dialog box opens prompting you to
relink the clips by browsing for the correct folder or folders.
MediaStudio Pro includes a feature that works completely transparent
(meaning that you won't even notice it), called Smart Relink. If you have
moved your files to another drive or folder, but have basically maintained
their positions relative to one another, Smart Relink will automatically find all
of the clips in the project that have missing file links and locate the rest of
the source files. This can be a huge time saver. See page 109 for more
information.
If you choose the Ignore button in the Relink dialog box, the clips on the
Timeline appear blacked out. You can still work with them, but you won't
be able to create previews or final video files.
Another way of relinking source files to their clips is by clicking Search:
Find Unlinked Clips. The dialog box that opens displays a list of the
missing source files, their associated file names, as well as options to
relink, delete, or go to the clip on the Timeline in question. If you choose
to relink, the Relink Video File dialog box opens allowing you to browse
for the missing files.
