Sequence

A single timeline included in a project is called a “sequence”.

A single project can be comprised of multiple sequences, and a sequence can be selected and edited by clicking the sequence tab. Sequences are registered as “TL (timeline) sequence clip” to the bin and they can be edited like clips.

When “Sequence 2” is placed in the 1VA track of sequence 1

You can open and edit the clip in “Sequence 2”, which is placed in Sequence 1, in the timeline window.

• Right-click the sequence tab to display the menu for changing the sequence settings or closing the sequence. Right-click the sequence tab of the sequence to be set.

Creating New Sequence

Create a new sequence.

A blank sequence is created in the timeline window, and a timeline sequence clip is also registered to the bin at the same time.

To select a sequence, click the sequence tab.

To close the sequence, right-click the sequence tab, and click [Close This Sequence].

• To enable alpha channel setting, select [YCbCr + Alpha] for [Video Channel] in the [Project Settings] (Detailed Settings) dialog box. For details on [Video Channel], see the Reference Manual.

Editing Sequences

Open and edit timeline sequence clips in the timeline window.

The sequence is displayed in the timeline window.

• When the timeline sequence clip is edited, the edited contents are reflected in the timeline sequence where it is placed. Note that the length of the timeline sequence where it is placed remains unchanged. The display changes as follows when there is not enough clip length left after editing:

  

  (1) is a part (gray) where no clips are present in the estimated total length of the sequence.

  (2) is a part (red) where no clips are present extending over the estimated total length of the sequence.

• The estimated total length can be changed in the sequence settings. See the Reference Manual for more details.

Using Nest Sequence Function

Register clips on the timeline to the bin as timeline sequence clips and place them on another timeline sequence.

Registering Clips on Timeline to the Bin as Sequences

You can register clips between In and Out points of the timeline to the bin.

You can also select a clip and register it to the bin as a timeline sequence clip.

Setting In and Out Points to Timeline

To register a clip on the timeline to the bin as a timeline sequence clip, select a clip.

When [In/Out] is clicked, the range between In and Out points is registered to the bin as a timeline sequence clip, and when [Selected Clip] is clicked, the selected clip is registered.

Placing a Sequence on Another Sequence (Nest Sequence)

You can place a timeline sequence clip on another timeline sequence.

The timeline sequence clip (gray) in the bin is placed on the other sequence.
