Just beneath the playlist pane is a full-width Scrub-Bar (Figure 11-4). The width of the scrub-bar represents
the full run time of the current clip or other media file. Drag the knob left or right to change time position in
the current playlist item.
FIGURE 11-4
In and Out Points for newly added Media are automatically adjusted
when necessary to accommodate motion when transitions you add
require it.

To reset the file to its full length, press the ‘g’ key.

To trim a clip manually, move the knob to the desired frame
and press ‘i’ or ‘o’ on the keyboard (to set the In Point or Out
Point, respectively).
During playback, the Scrub-Bar knob traverses the span between
the In and Out Points. The duration (taking into account trimming
operations) is displayed as a countdown in the upper of two
timecode fields at left (Figure 11-4). The lower time display shows
embedded clip timecode.
Hint: For longer durations, holding SHIFT while dragging the scrub
bar knob increases precision.
FIGURE 11-5
It’s useful to note that (Quicktime only) clips that are still being captured continue to ‘grow’ even after
addition to a DDR playlist (see Section 11.2.2).
These growing clips, featuring the red ‘recording’ overlay (Figure 11-5) can be freely extended beyond the
bounds of the ‘in’ and ‘out’ points they were given when initially added.
It can be very useful to recall that you can easily split clips using either the corresponding context menu item,
or the “/” key.
Time-Shifting
By the way, it’s possible to use
growing clips to ‘time shift’ your
program:

Initiate Recording.

Add the captured clip to a DDR

Press “g” on the keyboard to clear
its Out Point.

Trim the In Point to taste.

Assign the DDR to an output.

Wait some length of time, and
begin playing the clip.
 (Of course, all of this could easily
be performed by a macro, too.)
