20.2 The Appearance of Video in Live
20.2.1 Video Clips in the Arrangement View
A video clip in the Arrangement View looks just like an audio clip, except for the sprocket
holes in its title bar.
A Video Clip with a
QuickTime Marker.
Live also displays a movie le's QuickTime markers, if present, in the Arrangement View and
Clip View. QuickTime markers are created by external video authoring applications, and
although they cannot be selected or edited in any way by Live, they do provide visual cues
that can be helpful when scoring. Note that these markers are always read from the original
movie le, and are not stored in the Live Set or video clip.
For the most part, video clips in the Arrangement V iew are treated just like audio clips. They
can be trimmed, for example, by dragging their right or left edges. However, there are
some editing commands that, when applied to a video clip, will cause it to be replaced by
an audio clip (which by denition has no video component). This replacement only occurs
internally your original movie les are never altered. The commands which will cause this
are: Consolidate, Reverse and Crop.
