Shuttle mode begins playing the clip forward or backward once you press the right mouse button and drag either left or right. The clip continues to play until the mouse button is released or you reach the end of the clip.
Stamp Files
Stamp files are low-resolution, local proxies of clips, which are used for playback of clips stored on a network server, or for very large clips.
1 Right-click on the clip in the bin.
2 Choose Create Stamp from the contextual menu.
The Status bar at the top of the Bins window shows the progress of the stamp creation. Since the stamp creation is a background process, you can queue other stamps and can continue working with the composition.
Using the Studio Player
The Studio Player is a timeline-based playback interface built into the Bins window. It allows you to play and organize versions of compositions, make notes, and collaborate on shots and projects. The resolution-independent player uses any format that Fusion Studio can ingest, like EXR, ProRes, BMD RAW, QuickTime, and others. Clips use a RAM cache for playback, so even large formats can loop playback as long as there is available memory. Clips can contain audio and are output to a video monitor using Blackmagic Design Decklink or UltraStudio devices, allowing you to screen dailies and review shots. You can add annotation notes to the project, and setting up a Bin Server allows multiple artists to access the Studio Player.
— Clips can be played as single events, looped, or using a ping-pong playback, with a definable loop range.
— Clip metadata can be viewed, with live update during scrub/play.
— The Timeline interface can create a playlist for reviewing multiple clips.
— Per-shot color adjustment controls allow for consistent display of clips from different formats.
— Annotation notes can be typed on each clip and version, as well as the entire project.
— Audio Scratch track can be enabled for each clip during playback.
— Clip versions are stored in the same project to allow for quick access to previous work and for comparison of progress.
— Guide overlays can be customized to show monitor/title safety and show crops to various output formats.
— Blackmagic Design UltraStudio and DeckLink playback devices are supported for reviewing clips on video monitors and projectors.
