Fine-tuning in the Details Screen
The Details screen can be used to make fine adjustments to your project. You
can perform detailed editing of audio and video Clips, Transitions, Graphics,
Color Effects, and Special Effects. To use the Details screen:
1. Select the item from a bin or from the StoryBoard that you would like to
view in detail.
2. Click on the Details tab or press the Details key on the keyboard. The
Details on-screen settings will appear:
The Details screen is made up of the following elements:
This area displays the name of the item you have selected. You can change
the name of the item by selecting and typing over the current name.
This area displays the current time code for the position of the cursor bar
within the timeline of the selected item. You can move the cursor bar
(scrub) to any position along the timeline of the selected item, in order to
precisely line up your “in” or “out” point.
This is a timeline of the item you have selected. In addition to the cursor,
the timeline shows an “in” marker and an “out” marker (indicated as two
small cursors) for the selected item. You can drag the cursor bar and the
two markers to new positions within the timeline.
If you click the arrows to the left and right of the timeline, you will move to
the previous item and the next item (respectively) on the StoryBoard or
within the bin in the Editor screen. For example, if you originally selected a
clip from the Clips bin, pressing the right arrow will cause the next clip
from the Clips bin to appear in the Details screen.
