| Parameter | Description | Allowed Value | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| start | Time of source media that will be used as starting time of output media. | positive float number in seconds timecode in format HH:MM:SS[:;]FF HH – hours MM – minutes SS – seconds FF – frames [:;] – : – non drop-frame, ; – drop-frame; | none |
| finish | Time of source media that will be used as finishing time of output media. | positive float number in seconds timecode in format HH:MM:SS[:;]FF HH – hours MM – minutes SS – seconds FF – frames [:;] – : – non drop-frame, ; – drop-frame; | none |
| duration | Duration of resulting output media. | * positive float number in seconds | none |
| apply_timecode | Use source media muxed timecode to calculate start and finish points. | yes, no | no |
Note
If the <duration /> parameter is specified, the <finish /> parameter will be ignored.
Note regarding use of apply_timecode when using ad signal insertion (SCTE35)
Specifying<apply_timecode /> will apply timecode value conversion of the <start /> and <end /> parameters of <ad_break />/<cue_insert />.
