Operation Manual

VIDEO PAINT: CHAPTER ONE

Duplicating frames

The Frame: Duplicate command is similar to the Insert command in that

it adds new frames to the clip in the Filmstrip panel. The difference is that

it fills the new frames with the same content of the frame currently

displayed in the edit window. When you click this command, the Duplicate

Frame dialog box opens allowing you to specify the number of frames you

want to duplicate. Once you click OK, the frames are duplicated after the

active frame, pushing any following frames to the right.

Deleting frames

The Frame: Delete command removes a frame or frames from your

project, shortening the duration accordingly. (This does not remove them

from the actual source file.) When you click this command, the Delete

Frame dialog box opens allowing you to specify which frames in the

sequence to remove. You can enter the timecode of the frames in the Start

and End spin boxes or use the Mark-In and Mark-Out buttons on the

Preview control bar.

Replacing frames

The Frame: Replace Source Video command allows you to replace the

content of a frame with that of another frame from the same source video,

or with an empty frame. For example, you could replace the image in frame

6 with the image in frame 32. This is particularly useful if you have

inserted a number of empty frames and wish to fill those frames with

others from the same clip, or replace the source video with an empty frame

before opening it in a Video Editor project.
