Input tab Timing & Settings For Input Clip area In Point and Out Point: These controls are used to trim the beginning and ending of the current video clip. Trimming a clip does not change the source clip in any way. For more information, see "Trimming the In and Out Points in a video clip" on page 104. Timecode: Indicates the current In Point or Out Point. This is an interactive field. You can click in this field, and then type a value. The default In Point is 0:00:00.00. The default Out Point is the last frame of the clip. Set: Applies the current time in the clip, which is displayed in the lower-left of the Input Preview Monitor, to the In or Out Point. If you enter a value manually, do not click this button to apply the value, because the entered value will be overwritten with the current time for the clip. Reset: Returns the timecode to the default (first frame or last frame). Trimmed Duration: Specifies the length of the source video with the In and Out points applied. Original Duration: Specifies the length of the source video untrimmed. Offset Into Scene: Defines the time in the session when the current clip starts playing. This is typically required with VirtualTrak scenes where the input clip or an inset is not visible immediately. For more information, see "Specifying when a video clip begins playing in the session" on page 105. Timecode: Indicates how far into the session the clip's start time is delayed. This is an interactive field. Set: Applies the current time in the session, as displayed below the Output Preview Monitor, when the current clip starts playing. Reset: Returns the Offset Into Scene timecode to zero. Field Order: Ultra tries to set the field order automatically based on what it knows about the clip. If Ultra succeeds, then this can be left on Clip Default. If not, then you can use this list to specify which field should play first in interlaced clips or set it to Progressive for progressive clips. For more information, see "Set the field order (interlaced video clips only)" on page 65. Aspect: Ultra tries to determine the source's native frame aspect ratio. If the image appears stretched or squeezed, you can correct it by manually selecting the aspect ratio from this list. For more information, see "Setting the aspect ratio of the input source" on page 64. 42 Product overview
