4.4.1. Selecting clips¶

Selecting a clip is done by left-clicking on the clip. Selecting multiple clips can be done by using <shift>+click.

4.4.2. Adjusting duration¶

There are two major ways to ajdust the duration of a clip. One is by using your mouse and dragging the edge of the clip. The other is to click on the scene and adjust the duration in the settings on the right side.

4.4.3. Adjusting position¶

Positioning of the clip (the group of drones) in the 3d view works by adjusting in the settings of the clip. In the General section of the clip settings there is the x, y and z position (in meters). When viewing from the front the X-ax is LEFT/RIGHT, Y-ax is FRONT/BACK and Z-ax is TOP/BOTTOM.

4.4.4. Adjusting speed¶

Adjusting the speed of a clip on itself doesn’t do much. It will scale the duration of the clip, according to the speed.

Adjusting the speed has more utility when having actions inside the clip. E.g. when having the drones flash on and off every 1 second. Adjusting the speed to 2x will make the clip go faster. As a result the flashes will now occur every 0.5 second.

4.4.5. Copying / Pasting¶

Copying a clip works by selecting the wanted clips(s). Afterwhich you can right+click and press copy or use CTRL+C. Now move the time indicator to the wanted position and press CTRL+V. You will see a copy of the clip appear in the timeline.
