There are a number of items in the editor:
Timeline: The horizontal bar represents the overall length of the recording. Light blue sections mark the clips of video. The yellow section in the screenshot is the currently selected clip. The currently selected clip can also be saved as a QuickTime movie or EyeTV recording. In this example, the selected clips are commercials that will be discarded later.
Playhead: A large triangle above the timeline indicates which point in the recording is currently playing (or paused). Use the Spacebar to toggle between play and pause. All navigational features of the EyeTV Remote and menus are also available, e.g. Fast Forward, Reverse, and so on.
Thumbnails: The lower row of small pictures represents the beginnings of individual scenes in the recording. There are two levels of detail for the thumbnails. When Fine is selected, the thumbnail is at the beginning of groups of pictures, usually around 15 frames, which represent approximately half a second of video. When Fine is deselected, each thumbnail starts at the beginning of a scene transition, as determined by the EyeTV hardware.
Markers: Pairs of smaller triangles beneath the time line are designed to bookend the clip you want to cut (or that you want to export) from the recording. There are no markers visible for a new recording.
To add a marker, use the button in the center of the editor, beneath the timeline. Press this button to add a new pair of markers at the current Playhead position. Markers are preserved with the recording when the editor drawer is closed. This allows you to begin editing your recording and save your work during interruptions.
To delete a marker group, click either one of the pair, and press the Delete key. To clear all markers, use the Clear All Markers command in the Action menu (which looks like a gear).
Arrow keys: The Arrow keys on the keyboard have different functionality depending whether the editor drawer is visible or not. When the editor is visible the right and left arrow keys can be used to navigate between thumbnails. When the editor is closed, and EyeTV is playing over a clip marked for deletion, the right arrow skips playback to the end of the clip.
