Chapter 9 Edit
Dismantle Container
Similar to Disband Clip(s), this function in a Container’s shortcut menu breaks down a Container into its
components.
Unlike Step Into Container, a separate subsequence is not opened on the Timeline and the Layer tabs do
not appear on the left side of the Timeline. If they do not already exist, the necessary Tr ac k s are created
below the Container. Clips that are located directly below the Container to be dismantled are moved
downwards accordingly.
A Container with one or more Clip FX applied to it cannot be dismantled. Use the Step into Container
function instead.
Dismantling or Opening a Container?
Yo u c a n c l i c k o n a n Opened Container to close it again. In the case of nested containers, you will
obtain a better overview if you strictly separate the levels.
A Dismantled Container can change the Timeline layout if Tra c k s are added. If may also be neces-
sary to regenerate a dismantled file using the function Build Container.
Containers are Copies of Sequences
Containers are copies of Sequences and function on the Timeline just like all other clips. This means that
changes made in Container do not affect the original Sequences in the Rack and vice versa.
You should take this into consideration when repeatedly using the same Sequence in case a change
becomes necessary. Instead of changing ten individual Container, it is far more useful to edit the original
Sequence and to exchange the Container afterwards.
Fullscreen Display
You can scale the video in the Master Viewer to the size of your computer monitor. This function (pic-
tured on the left) is found in the Master Viewer’s Function Library (right-click > Customize > Special
tab). Keyboard commands (such as Play/Pause =
SPACEBAR) and scrubbing in the image continue to
function as usual. Press
ESC to exit fullscreen display.
Double-click the inlay to toggle between fullscreen display and standard view.
You can, for example, view HD without a special HD video monitor.
Tip: Assign this function to a key for rapid toggling between edit and view modes.
