Tip: Multiple selections are supported for toggling sound on and off, as well as for direct keyboard level
adjustments.

12.3.5

IN AND OUT POINTS (TRIMMING CLIPS)

To change the timing of clips in the PLAY LIST, you can use the same methods described earlier for the
CLIP LIST – see Section 11.3.1. Naturally, the value in the Ends At field cannot be directly edited. It is a
calculated field, showing the cumulative duration for the current clip and all entries in the list above it.

12.3.6

SPEED

Each clip can be played at its own speed – the range for the control is from 10% to 400%.

The  numeric  slider  in  the  Speed  column  can  be  modified  in  the  same  ways  as the  similar  audio value
control.  Even  when  playback  is  underway,  if  you  select  this  cell  you  can  also  use  the  Control  Surface
number pad to change the current value, pressing ENTER to complete the operation.  (Multiple selections
are also supported for direct keyboard adjustments.)

Also when PLAY LIST playback is underway, you can use the T-bar on the Control Surface to further modify
Speed interactively. (This does not overwrite established clip speed settings in the playlist).

Tip: Adjustments made during playback are applied as multipliers for the playlist clip speed. For
example, if the set speed for a PLAY LIST clip is 50%, and you further reduce speed by pressing the 50%
Speed Preset on the Control Surface, the actual playback rate is 25%.

12.3.7

TRANSITION

Like the two Audio columns, the Transition column controls allow you to switch the transition to the next
clip on or off, and set a value (in the by now familiar ways) – in this case, for the transition duration.
