File Split – Opens a dialog box that lets you create a new file that is a subsection of a larger file.
If the file that is created by this dialog box is a video file, the start frame will be the nearest I
frame before the selected start frame, and the end frame will be the frame just before the next I
frame after the selected end frame. The time code of these frames will be shown in the GOP TC
fields. If the file that is created by this dialog box is an audio file the sample rate must be set
correctly so that frame numbers can be calculated based on the audio sample rate. Because there
is not an exact number of audio samples per frame the fraction below the audio sample rate radio
buttons specifies how far from an exact cut the audio lands. This mismatch is usually negligible
but if audio and video are played for many days non-stop, many non-exact cuts merged together
can result in lip sync problems.
