In Flint you can perform editing operations on the desktop and on the timeline in both the Player and Batch. Some operations can be performed in all three places—for example, creating a dissolve or adding a cut to a clip. Edits that you apply to a clip in one area can be modified in either of the other areas wherever the type of operation is supported. For example, a dissolve applied to clips on the desktop can be modified in the Batch timeline.
The area you select depends on the complexity of the required edit. This chapter provides guidelines on which area to use, and the types of operations you can perform in each area.
