Drag the knob to move quickly backward or forward in the clip.
Audio is normally muted during scrubbing; hold down CTRL to un-
mute it. Also note that holding SHIFT while dragging the scrub bar
knob increases precision.

It’s useful to note that (Quicktime only) clips that are still being
captured continue to ‘grow’ even after addition to a DDR playlist
(see Section 11.1.8). These growing clips, featuring the red
‘recording’ overlay (Figure 135) can be freely extended beyond the
bounds of the ‘in’ and ‘out’ points they were given when initially
added.
It can be very useful to recall that you can easily split clips using
either the corresponding context menu item, or the “/” key.
ALPHA CHANNEL SUPPORT
For files with transparency such as 32bit image files, use non-
premultiplied (or ‘straight’) alpha channels in Media Players
(premultiplied files will not give correct results when overlaid on other imagery).
Hint: Monitors can optionally show a checkerboard pattern behind transparent content.
11.1.8 Media Browser
The custom Media Browser provides easy
navigation and selection of content on your
NewTek live production system or on the local
network.
The Media Browser appears anywhere in the Live
Desktop that you might wish to select content,
transitions or effects for use in your project (such
as the Media Players, LiveSet and Transitions
sections).
Its layout is principally comprised of two panes at
left and right that we’ll refer to as the Location
List and File Pane.
Time-Shifting
By the way, it’s possible to use
growing clips to ‘time shift’ your
program:

Initiate Recording.

Add the captured clip to a DDR
 Press “g” on the keyboard to clear
its Out Point.

Trim the In Point to taste.

Assign the DDR to an output.
 Wait some length of time, and
begin playing the clip.
 (Of course, all of this could easily
be performed by a macro, too.)
