Extending a Timeline Element

Introduction

The

Extend

feature in Multicam consists in extending the length of a timeline element by

extending the IN or OUT points of a clip as explained below, as long as the material is
available. This action can be performed with the Remote Panel.

If the required material is not available, the Remote Panel will beep. The Extend is always
performed in Overwrite mode, which means that the material ‘covered’ by the Extend is
deleted from the timeline.

Extend From IN

This editing action shifts the OUT point of the timeline element which includes the Mark
IN to the defined Mark OUT. The following schema shows an example with only the video
track selected.
