High Definition on the Timeline
High Definition on the Timeline
This section provides information on HD clips and effects on the Timeline. Basically, you can combine
clips of all formats and codecs in one and the same Sequence. For the smoothest workflow and best per-
formance, however, try to use material that is as homogenous as possible.

Editing HD (MPEG2) Clips
Usually, high definition video is a compressed digital video signal of the type MPEG2 IPB. HD clips (e.g.
imported native from HDV) can be edited frame by frame on the Timeline and in the Viewers. At each
edit or trim point, the MPEG2 codec generates an I frame and organizes a new GOP (for more informa-
tion, see the Output chapter, DVD Export, IPB Settings).
Therefore, the areas that were changed by editing or effects (and only these areas) must be rerendered
before being output to tape or exported as a file.
The Consolidate function cannot be used for working with HD (MPEG2 IPB) material.
ALE and OMF data exchange based on HD Sequences is not possible.
High Definition and Effects
Continue to use effects (video and audio) as usual. Realtime performance for playback also depends on
the HD format (i.e. the data rate) used. Rendering creates render files in the Render/Fuse Format cur-
rently set (see Timeline Properties).
