Source - Destination Editing
Concept
Source - Destination Editing is a powerful method of viewing and editing material especially applicable to edit-
ing multiple, multi-track, takes into one, ‘ideal’ take. Special Source and Destination Track Groups allow multiple
Timelines to be visible simultaneously. Each Source and destination Timeline has its own zoom level and Playhead
cursor. By taking advantage of the ‘Collapse’ feature, editing 48 track source material becomes almost as simple as
editing mono or stereo.
Source - Destination editing can also be extremely useful in broadcast and tracklaying applications. Pyramix can
have as many Clip editors as you wish. Just create some Tracks, group them, set the group as a Source. Set the Clip
Editor Track or Tracks as ‘
always visible’ (in the Tracks Tab Window, so each Clip Editor always stays on top of the
composition and that’s it.
If there is no Destination group in your composition then the section between the Gates in the Source Group/Clip
Editor is sent to the positions delineated by the
Mark In/Mark Out on the selected Track(s) in the composition.
