Setting In and Out Marks in Clips

You can set a temporary beginning and ending to a clip by marking an in point,
an out point or both. The video and audio data is not lost, however: it simply is
not used when the clip is played. For example, if you set a mark-in point five
seconds into a clip, it plays at the five second mark instead of at the beginning,
but if you remove a mark-in, it returns the beginning of the clip to the actual
clip start.

NOTE: Setting in and out marks applies to Panel Control only. It is
not recommended for other protocols.
