272 Glossary Telecine - film-to-video conversion system that introduces the 3:2 pulldown necessary to compensate for the differences in frame rates between film and video. The 3:2 pulldown is undesirable in compressed movies and should be removed with the Intelecine feature. Temporal Compression - video compression that compares frames and only transmits the differences between them. Also called "interframe" compression. Temporal Processing - an option of the Adaptive Noise Redution filter that smoothes pixels over time to remove even more video noise to further improve encoding quality. In addition to general video noise, this filter can eliminate one-frame-duration artifacts, such as lines resulting from dirty video heads or worn tape. TIES - XML-based file format used for exporting EventStreams. TIES files can be edited with either an XML editor or a regular text editor and can be imported back into Cleaner for use with other projects or batches. Text Track - track made up of text, style, positioning and time information. QuickTime text tracks are often used for subtitles. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) - widely supported cross-platform file format for storing bitmapped images. Often used in pre-press. Toggle - little triangle-shaped button that, when clicked, rotates to reveal more information in the interface. Similar to "disclosure triangles" in the Finder that let you view the contents of a folder without first opening it. Clicking once reveals more information; clicking again hides the extra information. Tracks - separate media types that make up a movie. Most movies include a video track and an audio track. In some multimedia architectures, such as QuickTime, there are also text tracks, sprite tracks, music tracks and more unusual track types. Transcode - to change a file from one format to another.

compensate for the differences in frame rates between film and video. The 3:2 pulldown is
undesirable in compressed movies and should be removed with the Intelecine feature.
Temporal Compression —
video compression that compares frames and only transmits the
differences between them. Also called “interframe” compression.
Temporal Processing
— an option of the Adaptive Noise Redution filter that smoothes pixels
over time to remove even more video noise to further improve encoding quality. In addition to
general video noise, this filter can eliminate one-frame-duration artifacts, such as lines
resulting from dirty video heads or worn tape.
TIES
— XML-based file format used for exporting EventStreams. TIES files can be edited with
either an XML editor or a regular text editor and can be imported back into Cleaner for use with
other projects or batches.
Text Track —
track made up of text, style, positioning and time information. QuickTime text
tracks are often used for subtitles.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) —
widely supported cross-platform file format for storing bit-
mapped images. Often used in pre-press.
Toggle —
little triangle-shaped button that, when clicked, rotates to reveal more information in
the interface. Similar to “disclosure triangles” in the Finder that let you view the contents of a
folder without first opening it. Clicking once reveals more information; clicking again hides the
extra information.
Tracks —
separate media types that make up a movie. Most movies include a video track and
an audio track. In some multimedia architectures, such as QuickTime, there are also text tracks,
sprite tracks, music tracks and more unusual track types.
Transcode —
to change a file from one format to another.
