Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Video format | Allows you to set expected video frame size. |
Framerate | Allows you to set the number of frames that appear on the screen in one second. |
Timecode format | Allows you to set the proper format for your timecode in compliance with the chosen framerate. |
Aspect ratio | The aspect ratio of video material is related to the shape of the screen used to display the video, i.e. the relation between the height of the projected image and its width. Old Standard Definition TV sets are 4x3, which is the ratio of the screen width to the screen height. Widescreen televisions are most frequent now and their aspect ratio is 16x9. To convert from widescreen to 4x3 aspect ratio the audiovisual material must be letterboxed, which means adding black bars to the top and bottom of the wide screen video so that it fits into a 4x3 screen. |
Shift timeline | This feature allows you to move the timeline either forward or backward in case the extracted shot changes on the line don’t match the video. |
Enable audio scrubbing | Checking this box will turn on the audio scrubbing, which allows you to spot the exact frames for in/out subtitle cues. |
Auto populate framerate from video .dat file | With this box checked, the framerate for the project will be automatically adjusted after opening a video file which comes with metadata from Management system or OOONA Agent |
