Setting Clip Flags; Locking (Write-Protecting) Clips - Sony XDS-1000 Operation Manual

To play the clip you have found
Select the clip, and then press the PLAY button.
To search through a clip in the expand
thumbnail screen
The expand function allows you to divide a clip selected in
the clip list screen into equally sized blocks, and to display
a list of thumbnails of those blocks. This is a quick and
efficient way to review the selected clip and search for
target scenes. You can specify 12, 144, or 1728 divisions.
1
In the clip thumbnail screen, select the thumbnail of
the clip that contains the scene you want to find.
2
Press the EXPAND function button (F6).
The selected clip is divided into 12 blocks, and a list
appears in the expand thumbnail screen (see page 57)
with the first frame of each block displayed as a
thumbnail.
3
Select the thumbnail that you want to expand further.
4
Repeat steps 2 and 3 up to 2 times, as required.
Note
If the duration of each block after division would be
shorter than one frame, division is performed so that an
expand thumbnail screen is displayed in which the
duration of each block is one frame. In this case, no such
expand thumbnail screen is displayed that represents
further expansion.
For example, a 100-frame clip is divided into 100 blocks
when you press the EXPAND function button (F6) twice
and an expand thumbnail screen is displayed in which the
duration of each block is one frame. A third press of the
EXPAND function button (F6) displays no expand
thumbnail screen representing further expansion.
To return to the previous expansion level
Press the EXPAND function button (F6) while holding
down the SHIFT button.
To display the expand thumbnail screen of the
previous or next clip
With the expand thumbnail screen still active, press the
PREV button or the NEXT button.
An expand thumbnail screen appears displaying the
thumbnails of 12 equal blocks resulting from division of
the previous or next clip.

Setting clip flags

You can set three types of clip flags (OK/NG/KP(KEEP))
for selected clips. Setting these flags in each clip that you
record makes it easy for editors and other colleagues to
find and select the clips that they need.
1
In a clip list screen, select the clip where you want to
set a flag (multiple selections possible).
2
Display the Clip Menu.
3
Select Set Clip Flag.
The Set Clip Flag screen appears.
In this screen, a x mark appears in front of the name
of each flag that is set in one or more of the currently
selected clips.
4
Select the clip flag that you want to set (OK/NG/
KP(KEEP)), and then press the PUSH SET knob.
The clip flag is set for all selected clips, and the clip
flag icon (see page 56) appears on thumbnails.
To clear clip flags
Carry out steps 1 to 3, selecting a clip that has a flag set,
and then select "none" in step 4.

Locking (write-protecting) clips

In a clip list screen, you can lock the selected clips so that
they cannot be deleted or altered.
Locking prevents the following operations on clips.
• Deletion
• Changing the index picture
• Adding and deleting shot marks
• Setting and clearing clip flags
Notes
• Locked clips are deleted along with other clips when a
media is formatted.
• Clips cannot be locked or unlocked when a media is
write protected.
