Play Zone

Markers

Add Marker

Adds a new marker into the clip at the current time point.

Edit Marker

Brings up a dialog where you can edit the marker that is at the current time point. Use Go to marker to put the monitor at the marker you want to edit.

Delete Marker

Deletes the marker that is a the current timepoint. Use Go to marker to put the monitor at the marker you want to edit.

Delete All Markers

Same a Go to Marker below.

Go to marker...

The menu item pops out a list of existing markers to select from. When one is selected the Clip monitor moves to that marker.

Save zone

This brings up the Save Zone dialog

This causes the current zone (see Creating Zones in Clip Monitor) to be saved as a .mlt file. This is a MLT video playlist file which is an xml format file describing the zone that we saved.

You can then load the .mlt files as clips into the project monitor and edit them like any other clip.

Extract Zone

This brings up the Cut Clip dialog which appears to be setup to extract the zone into a new file and add it to the project tree.

This will change the thumbnail that represents this clip in the project tree to the frame that is currently selected in the clip monitor.

Real time (drop frames)

Setting this to the Checked state means the clip monitor will drop frames durring playback to ensure the clip plays in real time. This does not effect the final rendered file - it just effect how the clip appears when being previewed in the clip monitor
