The process of changing the speed of playback of a clip over time. The equivalent of varying the crank of a film camera. Available in Motion via the Scrub filter.
timecode
A unique numbering system of electronic signals laid onto each frame of videotape that is used to identify specific frames of video. Each frame of video is labeled with hours, minutes, seconds, and frames (01:00:00:00). Timecode can be drop frame, nondrop frame, time of day (TOD), or EBU (European Broadcast Unionfor PAL projects).
timecode gap
An area of tape with no timecode at all. Timecode gaps usually signify the end of all recorded material on a tape, but they may occur due to the starting and stopping of the camera and tape deck during recording.
Timeline
A window in Motion's Timing pane for displaying and editing the timing events for all objects, filters, and behaviors.
Title Safe
Part of the video image that is guaranteed to be visible on all televisions. The Title Safe area is the inner 80 percent of the screen. To prevent text in your video from being hidden by the edge of a TV set, you should restrict any titles or text to the Title Safe area.
