The Offset combo box for the Spread Source Mix contains the following
controls:
Down Arrow: Moves the Active Mix In Time to the Spread Source Mix In Time;
Up Arrow: Moves the Spread Source Mix In Time to the Active Mix In Time;
+/– Box: Toggles the Offset Value between positive (+) and negative
(–); “+” is the default value;
Offset Value: Difference between the Active Mix and Spread Source Mix In Times
(00:00:00:00 is the default value);
Offset Lock: Freezes the Offset value.
The relationships between the Active Mix and Spread Source Mix In
Times and the Offset Values are as follows:
• If the Active Mix and Spread Source Mix In Times are identical, the
Offset Value will be 00:00:00:00.
• If the Active Mix In Time is 10 seconds greater than the Spread Source
Mix In Time, the Offset Value will be +00:00:10:00.
• If the Active Mix In Time is 10 seconds less than the Spread Source
Mix In Time, the Offset Value will be –00:00:10:00.
• Changing either In Time will cause a corresponding change in the Off-
set Value unless it is locked.
• Locking the Offset field will freeze its value. When locked, its value
remains constant when changes are made in the other fields. Changing
either In Time will then cause a corresponding change in the other In
Time. It is important to note that the Offset Value may be edited even
when it’s locked.
Note: It is possible to lock both Length and Offset fields.
5.16.3.3 Merge Mix
The Merge Mix allows mix data from a region of an external mix to be
applied to the Active Mix. The data from the selected region in an external
mix (Merge Mix) is applied to the selected objects, on the selected chan-
nels, in the Active Mix during the Edit Region.
The Merge Mix combo box has two primary control sets:
•
Mix Selection Menu: used to select the Merge Mix;
• Timecode Entry Fields: used to select the source region of the Merge
Mix.
In addition, an Offset combo box is provided so the Active Mix and Merge
Mix
In Times can be easily offset from each other.
