Edit Key Frames (Linearize)
Yo u c a n e x t e n d / s h o r t e n Key Frames upward/downward to modify shifts in speed and/or direction.
When the mouse pointer is positioned near a Key Frame, it becomes an arrow. An arrow pointing to the
left means that you are editing the segment to the left of the Key Frame and an arrow pointing to the right
indicates the Key Frame to the right. Left-click and drag the upper or lower end of the Key Frame to the
desired location.
Navigating Diagrams, Keeping Overview
Five functions that make handling and understanding of the diagrams easier:
Move a Segment
Depending on the scale currently set, a smaller or larger portion of the diagram area is outside the range
of the display.
Hold down the
SHIFT key (the mouse pointer changes to a hand) and drag the pointer across the dia-
gram until the appropriate section is visible.
Locate Selected Key Frame
Click this button to move the Key Frame currently selected to the center of the diagram. This is helpful if
you previously moved the segment and then lost track of it.
Large Display
Single-click the triangle at the top between the timecode fields to open and close an enlarged view of the
diagram.
Position Bars
The position bars in the Timewarp Editor function the same way as all the other position bars (see
“Navigation Using the Position Bar” on page 265). The only difference is that the Playline in the lower
diagram is used to select speed factors between +/- 100.
The horizontal position bar applies to both diagrams.
Adjust Scale
Click this button to link the scales of the position bars for the source and destination clips.
