Close Up

Performing a Ripple Overwrite to substitute a In/ Out range of the Timeline (part of

clips BB and CC) with the incoming clip DD

Lets you edit a clip into the Timeline as a zoomed-in close up, to make up for a lack of actual close ups that would have been shot with either longer lenses or by moving the camera closer to the subject. This function is particularly useful when you’re working with 4K media in a 1080 timeline, or 8K media in a 4K timeline, which enables you zoom into existing wide shots to create medium shots, or medium shots to create close up shots, with no loss of quality.

Performing this edit adds the incoming clip as an approximate 150% scaled close up, also performs a face detection, and if a face or faces are found, automatically re-positions the face in the frame. Which frame of the Timeline the incoming clip aligns with depends on the following:

— If no In or Out points are set on the Timeline, the incoming clip aligns with the Timeline playhead as the In point.

— The incoming clip aligns with a timeline In point if one has been set.

— The incoming clip’s Out point will align with a timeline Out point if one has been set without an In point. This “backtimes” the clip.

Place On Top

Lets you edit the incoming clip as a superimposition above whatever other clips are in the Timeline; the incoming clip is always placed on top, so if there are clips in tracks 1, 2, and 3, the incoming clip
