Media Segments

Media segments are displayed on the timeline with head and tail thumbnails.

You can toggle the display of thumbnails using the ch-comp_composition-toggles-thumbs

 

Each media segment on a video track displays the tape name, material name and any source offset (head handles). The source offset is given as a timecode.

 

 

ch-comp_timeline-segment-indicators-anno

The segment in the diagram above has four seconds and twelve frames of handles at the front of the segment.

 

Composition segments are colour-coded.

Normal Segment

ch-comp_segment-normal

 

Segments are displayed in grey.

Active Segment

ch-comp_segment-active

 

The active segment lies under the currently active play-head and is displayed in blue. Grades, effects, versions etc. are applied to the active segment unless some other segment is selected.

Selected Segment

ch-comp_segment-selected

 

A selected segment will be displayed in orange. Any selected segments will take priority over the active segment.

When one or more segments are selected, your composition timeline scroll-bar will also turn orange to indicate this. This is visible even if the selected segment is off-screen.
