like galleries, timelines are grouped together in bins. you can have up to 20 timelines open, and you can have a total of 50 timelines saved within a project (meaning, if you have 20 timelines open, you can have 30 closed at the same time).

    a timeline is the basis for editing in dpsvelocity. a timeline allows you to place clips in sequence and layer them for transitions and effects.

   

    you can cut copy and paste between multiple open timelines. for information on moving edited segments from one project to another, please see chapter 8: editing.

    timeline duration

    timelines are created with a duration of ten minutes. to change that duration, select edit ] timeline ] timeline duration from the main menu, or press the timeline information button in the bottom left corner of the timeline. you can set any duration up to 24 hours.

    if there are already clips on your timeline and you attempt to set a duration shorter than the amount of time between the start of the timeline and the end of the last clip, the duration will automatically be set longer so as not to remove any clips from the timeline or alter their spacing.

    timeline start time

    choose edit ] timeline description from the main menu or right click on the tracks area of the timeline and select timeline description. a window opens:

   

    you can add a title and notes to your timeline on this screen as well.

    enter a timecode in the timeline start time field and click ok. your timeline is updated.

    you can also enter durations to arrive at more complicated start times. for example, if your original start time was 00:00:00:00 and you enter -30:00, the timeline will start at 23:59:30:00.
