Numerically Setting In/Out Points, The Cleaner Time System, Go to Frame/Go to Time

Page 51 highlights

Trimming Files 43 To move the controller to the In and Out points: 1. Press T to move the time controller to the In point. 2. Press Y to move the time controller to the Out point. Numerically Setting In/Out Points You can numerically set the In and Out points via the Begin/End tab in the Settings window. See "Begin/End Tab" on page 85. Note: If you set In/Out points in the Project window, they will override the In/Out points set via the Begin/End tab in the Settings window. The Cleaner Time System Cleaner uses a time system defined in milliseconds that is more flexible and has a wider range of uses than the SMPTE (Society of Motion Picture and Television Experts) timecode used by many video editing systems. Using milliseconds is more accurate and more flexible than SMPTE, which is especially helpful when creating interactive streaming video. Conversion between formats is also more difficult with SMPTE because the same time is written differently in NTSC and PAL. When authoring EventStreams, this time system enables multiple, sequenced events to be assigned within a given frame, which SMPTE does not support. SMPTE only works with broadcast-quality frame rates - 29.97 (NTSC), 25 (PAL) and 24 (film) - so it does not work with streaming settings that use smaller frame rates, such as 15 fps, 10 fps, and 7 fps. Go to Frame/Go to Time If you know the exact frame or time at which you want to set the In/Out points, you can use Edit > Go to Frame or Edit > Go to Time to access these points. To go directly to a frame to set In/Out points: 1. Open the Project window. 2. Choose Edit > Go To Frame.
