Adding Storyboard Items to a Sequence

You can add items from the Storyboard tab by a simple drag and drop operation.to a sequence. In doing so, you add a segment to the sequence.

You can add one or more markers or restrictions or segments at the same time to the sequence. Note the following limitation: Adding more than one stratum segment at the same time to a sequence is currently not supported. For thumbnails, adding an individual thumbnail or a range of consecutive thumbnails is supported.

c The term sequence is used generically throughout this topic to refer to an assembly of audio and video assets; it refers to any or all sequence types.

For more information about sequences, see Understanding Sequence Types and Working with Sequences.

Note the following effects when adding items to a sequence:

  • For each added marker, a segment/asset link that consists of 2 seconds before the marker and 2 seconds after it is created.

  • For each added restriction, a segment/asset link that consists of the restriction’s span is created.

  • For each added stratum segment, a segment/asset link with the same duration is created.

  • When you add an individual thumbnail, a segment/asset link that consists of 2 seconds before the thumbnail and 2 seconds after it is created.

  • When you add a thumbnail span, a segment/asset link that consists of the span is created.
