TRUCTURE
A clip is defined by Short IN and Short OUT points. When referring to Short IN and
Short OUT points, the operators usually use the terms IN point and OUT points.
When Short IN and Short OUT points are set, the system automatically write
protects a user definable length of material before and after the Short IN/OUT
points respectively, these are referred to as the guardbands.
For this reason, the IN point before the guardbands and the OUT point after the
guardband are called Protect IN point and Protect OUT point.
It is possible to trim a clip by redefining Short IN and Short OUT points.
If Short IN and Short OUT points are defined, only the fields between those two
points will be played if the sequence is recalled (the same applies when the
sequence is included in a playlist).
Fields between Protect IN and Short IN and fields between Short OUT and Protect
OUT (guardbands) can be reached with the jog. So the Short IN and Short OUT
points can be redefined.
