Using Clips
With VdrPanel, you can define, rename and delete a clip. You can load an
existing clip or group of clips.
Defining a New Clip
There are two methods for defining clips:
• You can create and name an empty clip, then record to it (Name Clip First).
• You can start recording with an empty clip list, then rename the recorded clip
to a meaningful name (Record Clip First).
Either method creates and stores a named clip. Use whichever method is most
convenient for you. You can choose
VideoClip | Rename Clip at any time to
change a clip name.
Name Clips First
To define a clip by first naming the clip:
1. Click in a panel to select it.
2. Select VideoClip | New Clip to open the New Clip dialog box (Figure 91).
3. Select a drive from the Drive list. The number of drives available depends
on your hardware.
4. Enter a clip name, up to 32 characters long. Spaces and uppercase characters
are acceptable; however, uppercase and lowercase characters will not
distinguish clip names.
5. Click OK . The new clip is added to the clip list for the selected channel.
6. If the Loop or Bounce buttons are pressed in the panel, a dialog appears
asking you to specify the loop or bounce duration in the form 00:00:00:00.
7. Click the Record button (in the selected Panel dialog box) to begin
recording. The timecode and compression rate fields are updated.
NOTE: A video input signal must be present on the selected channel
for recording to start.
8. Click Stop to stop recording.
