yes, exactly. It just dumps out internal structures :-) Btw, if I recall correct, there is a menu entry "close source" in the context menu of the viewer, which has about the same effect, i.e. it removes the internal data structures of an clip opened for viewing, when you select it prior to saving. But I should add that it's not completely "junk". For example, you can set lables in the viewer, create an in/out point etc. To my experience, the lables are persisted in the clip definition *only* if you once save the session while still having opened the clip in the viewer. For me, this is a pretty much important feature when working with large amounts of footage: being able to pre-select interesting locations permanently. Moreover, you can also save a selection from the timeline (in/out plus arming the correct tracks) as a new clip, even with something different than the standard number of tracks. Then you could open this new clip in the viewer, set in/out and thus re-add parts to the timeline. This is the reason why the viewer window as well as any clip in the resources contains a complete embedded EDL. cheers, Hermann V. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIpv37ZbZrB6HelLIRAlVSAJ0dDQxvKnCKNt9zEu5IWmpeC+kNLQCgojoo LYTLjdBU3ad0axploZLQTBI= =RkBy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list [email protected] https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
