You can set two points on the timeline with In/Out points or by selecting a range in Cut and Paste mode. Now we use \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Loop Playback} (Shift - L) to make two vertical green lines appear at the edges of the selection. Originally this function is used to limit the playback within this range, but we can take advantage of the fact that the green lines remain even when we move the insertion point or delete the In/Out points or deselect the range. So they can be used as a visual reference when we want to move the edits precisely. To delete these guides press \textit{Shift-L} again.

\label{ssub:output_size}
\index{temporary}
-\CGG{}'s compositing routines use a \textit{temporary} which is a single frame of video in
-memory where graphics processing takes place. The size of the temporary and of the output in
-the compositing pipeline are different and vary for any particular frame. Effects are processed in
-the temporary and as such are affected by the temporary size. In the case of the camera, its
-viewport is the temporary size. However, projectors are rendered to the output and so are affected
-by the output size. When the temporary is smaller than the output, the temporary will have blank

+\CGG{}'s compositing routines use a \textit{temporary} which is a single frame of video in memory where graphics processing takes place. By default the size of the temporary is that of the project ($W \times H$); i.e., the output size; i.e, the canvas size. But if the tracks on the timeline have various sizes different from those of the project, then the temporary will take the size of the active track (viewport = green border). We can also change the size of the viewport using the Camera tool, as well as pans and zooms the temporary displayed in it. Effects are processed in the temporary and as such are affected by the temporary size. In the case of the camera, its viewport is the temporary size. The size of the temporary and of the output in the compositing pipeline can be different and vary for any particular frame. However, projectors are rendered to the output and so are affected by the output size. The temporary is the basis on which the Projector tool acts to display the canvas on the Compositor window. The canvas always has the size of the project, although with the projector we can make pans and resizes of the red border inside it. When the temporary is smaller than the output, the temporary will have blank borders around the region in the output. When the temporary is larger than the output, it will be cropped.

a video asset and choosing \texttt{Match $\rightarrow$ Match project size}. When you \emph{Match project size}, you
are conforming the output to the asset. To change the size and aspect ratio of the output (Projector) we have to change the whole project, which will alter all the tracks in the timeline. Once you have set the output size in 1 of these 3 ways,
any newly created tracks will conform to the specified output size. When rendering, the project's
-output size is the final video track size where the temporary pipeline is rendered into.
+output size is the final video track size where the temporary pipeline is rendered into.
+
+To clarify, let's take an example.
+
+If we load a media (M) into Resources and adjust the size of the project to the size of M, we will get the canvas size of the media $W_{M} \times H_{M}$). We can see in the Set Format window that the project's default values ($W \times H$) have changed to those of M ($W_{M} \times H_{M}$). The tracks on the timeline can have different sizes, but what we will see on the canvas, that is, in the Compositor window, is always the output size i.e. the size of the project. Tracks with smaller sizes will be seen with black bands; tracks with larger sizes will be cropped. Each track has its own size but we will see it inserted in the output size. If we change the output size the tracks will not change, remaining in their original size. We can only change the size of the tracks by manually acting on each one in the ways seen before. Finally, if we create a new track in a project of size $W \times H$, it will assume the size of the project automatically.
\subsubsection*{Aspect Ratio (Theory)}%
\label{ssub:aspect_ratio_theory}
\index{aspect ratio}
\index{PAR, DAR, SAR}
-The aspect ratio is the ratio of the sides of the frame (\textit{Width} and \textit{Height}). For example, classically broadcast TV was 4:3 (= 1.33), whereas today it has changed to 16:9 (= 1.85); in cinema we use the 35 mm aspect ratio of 1.37 (Academic aperture), but even more so the super 35 mm (2.35). There are also anamorphic formats, i.e. that have no square pixels, like Cinemascope (2.35). The projection must be \textit{normalized} to have an undistorted view.

+The aspect ratio is the ratio of the sides of the frame (\textit{Width} and \textit{Height}). For example, classically broadcast TV was 4:3 (= 1.33), whereas today it has changed to 16:9 (= 1.78); in cinema we use the 35 mm aspect ratio of 1.375 (Academy aperture), academy flat (1.85 or widescreen) but even more so the super 35 mm (from 1.33 to 2.39). There are also anamorphic formats, i.e. that have no square pixels, like Cinemascope (2.39). The projection must be normalized to have an undistorted view.
-From the film or digital sensors of the cameras, we can extract any frame size we want. We are talking about \textit{viewports}, which we will examine shortly. Also important is the output of the film that will be rendered, because it is what we will see at the cinema, or on TV, or on the monitor of the PC, tablet or smartphone. Referring to figure~\ref{fig:temporary-01}, you can see these two possibilities: with the Camera you choose the size and aspect ratio of the source file (regardless of the original size); while with the Projector you choose the size and aspect ratio of the output.

Other ways of changing the aspect ratio of assets or tracks we have seen previously (\texttt{Resize track}; \texttt{Match Output Size}; \texttt{Resize asset}). A method of changing the size of the entire project (canvas) is via the \texttt{Set Format} window. The following formula is used to vary the aspect ratio:
-The following formula is used to vary the aspect ratio:
+\qquad $\frac{W}{H} =$ frame aspect ratio ($\frac{pixels}{pixels}$)
-\qquad $\frac{W}{H} =$ aspect ratio ($\frac{pixels}{pixels}$)
-
-For example to obtain an aspect ratio of Super 35 mmm (2.35) starting from a FullHD file (1920x1080) whose base extension (1920) we want to keep:
+For example to obtain an aspect ratio of Super 35 mm (2.35) starting from a FullHD file (1920x1080) whose base extension (1920) we want to keep:
\qquad $\frac{1920}{H} = 2.35$
-from which: $H = 817$ pixels
-
-\CGG{} allows you to vary the input and output aspect ratio in the ways indicated in the previous section: by varying the pixels of the sides or by setting a multiplication coefficient.
-
-In \texttt{Settings $\rightarrow$ Format} there is the additional possibility to vary the shape of the pixels from 1:1 (square) to handle anamorphic formats. In such cases we use:
-
-\qquad $PAR=\frac{DAR}{SAR}$
-
-where:
+from which: $H = 816$ pixels
-\textit{DAR}= Display Aspect Ratio
-
-\textit{PAR}= Pixel Aspect Ratio (1 or 1:1 is square)
-
-\textit{SAR}= Storage Aspect Ratio (i.e media file aspect ratio)
+At the same time as changing the \textit{Height} parameter we also need to set \texttt{Display Aspect rati}o to 2.35. In fact, the parameters in Canvas Size are not related to those in Display Aspect ratio, unless we keep the \texttt{Auto} option checked, and we need to set both before we click on the \texttt{Apply} button. To set the aspect ratio to 2.35:1 we can choose from the drop-down menu the value 2.35 or set the value directly in the two input fields. Or again, it can be done automatically via the Auto option. Finally we can click on the Apply button to complete the calculations. Now we have arrived at the desired result: typical Super 35 mm dimensions and aspect ratio, although starting from a 16:9 FullHD. The new canvas, however, lost the pixels of a part of the initial video (crop), to be precise $1080 - 816 = 264$ lines of pixels from top and bottom.
+\CGG{} allows you to vary the input and output aspect ratio in the ways indicated in the previous section: by varying the pixels of the sides (Width/Height) or by setting a multiplication coefficient (W/H Ratio; in this example: placing $H Ratio = 816 : 1080 = 0.7556$) which performs the calculation automatically. If you set \textit{W Ratio} and \textit{H Ratio} at the same time with the same values, they work as multipliers and you get a resizing of the canvas, without altering the initial aspect ratio. If you change them to two different values or change only one of the two parameters, leaving the other at 1, you get an anamorphic video, with the pixels no longer being square (1:1) but becoming rectangular, deforming the image. If you use a non-standard aspect ratio, this has impact on other areas like titles, included stills and included non-anamorphotic footage. To avoid anamorphosis, the \texttt{Display Aspect ratio} must also be adjusted at the same time, for example, with the Auto option. \textit{Anamorphic} format is a complex field that is discussed
+in Andrea's paper: {\small \url{https://cinelerra-gg.org/download/Anamorphic.pdf}}.

\subsection{Camera and Projector}%
\label{sub:camera_and_projector}
Select the camera button to enable camera editing mode.
In this mode, the guide box shows where the camera position is in relation to past and future camera positions but not where it is in relation to the source video.
-The green box is the Viewport; at the beginning it coincides with the size of the source frame. If we move the viewport by dragging it with LMB (moving it in $x/y$), the green box remains fixed to the original size but the frame is moved to the new position. A yellow frame will appear along the edges of the frame to indicate the displacement with respect to the green box; this behavior differs from that seen for the Projector. Even if we act on the $z-axis$ (SHIFT + Drag, equivalent to the zoom), the frame narrows or widens, moving behind the yellow frame.

By pressing the Reset button for each coordinate, or the global Reset button, the range is automatically brought to the project size value (HD; 4k; etc), which are usually the most useful limits. Note that the range can also be changed in the \textit{Program} window, in the \textit{zoom bar}, where there are similar input fields to enter the chosen limits.

+\subsection{Modify Folder: sorting the media}%
+\label{sub:sorting_media}
+\index{folder modify}
+
+In \CGG{} all the virtual mediafiles loaded in the \textit{Resources} window are collected in the \texttt{Media} folder without any kind of organization and sorting other than alphabetical. The Media folder is considered a \textit{master} folder because it is the basis for every other new folder we create. Another \textit{master} folder is \texttt{Clips}, and in fact we can create new clips folders as well. If we do editing of large projects containing numerous mediafiles, a rational and selective organization of the source material becomes necessary. In fact, having the sources organized in folders, where they can be found and used easily, makes subsequent editing much faster, as well as minimizing confusion and the possibility of errors. This step, which is fundamental in the pro environment, is called \textit{Logging} and also includes \textit{screening} individual mediafiles in the Viewer window; \textit{renaming} them rationally; and adding labels and descriptions in the \textit{metadata}.
+
+We start by creating one or more new folders (MediaUserBin). These will be empty and we should populate them with the mediafiles contained in the master Media folder. There are two options: manual \textit{Drag and Drop} or automatic populating by setting \textit{filters} (Smart Bins).
+
+\paragraph{Drag and Drop:} you drag mediafiles into the new folder one by one or in selected groups. The starting master folder can only be \texttt{Media} (or \texttt{Clips}, if we have created a new clip folder). Dragging is done by preserving the absolute path of the sources. If you open Modify Folder window you will notice that each imported mediafile occupies a different row characterized by its own path and name. See figure~\ref{fig:modify-target}. The \texttt{Value} field containing paths can contain only 63 characters, and it may happen to find the names cut off. The full path and name can be found by right-clicking on the row, but this is inconvenient and time-consuming. The best solution is to drag the mediafiles while holding down the \texttt{Shift} key; this will return the relative path instead of the absolute path, with space gain.

+\paragraph{Filters:} you do automatic populating using filters (Smart Bins mode). You set the values of the \texttt{Enabled}; \texttt{Target}; \texttt{Op} and \texttt{Value} fields to make up the required filtering. The folder will populate automatically by pulling from the \texttt{Media} master folder. The filter is the result of one row, but we can do more sophisticated filtering by adding more rows. The process will start from the first row propagating to subsequent rows always following the pattern from top to bottom. See figure~\ref{fig:modify_folder}.
