4.10 SLIPPING ELEMENTS IN THE TIMELINE

EFINITION
Slipping an element in a timeline consists of adjusting the content of the clip
without changing:
• the element position in the timeline
• the duration of the element included in the timeline
• the surrounding elements in the timeline.
In other words, slipping a timeline element moves its IN and OUT points to another
frame in the A/V material still available. The IN and OUT points will be moved
simultaneously by the same number of frames in the same direction.

IMITS
The A/V material still available on the XT[2] server, i.e. the source media or the
record train, will determine the limits of a slip action:
• If the record train of the source media is still available around the source
media, the record train will be loaded and the user can perform the slipping
action on the loaded record train.
• If only the source media is still available, the source media will be loaded and
the user can perform the slipping action up on the available guardbands.
