TrekMap2 - Event ⌘E

In TrekMap2 an event is a marker on the TimeLine. If you need something to happen at a certain time in your video you can place your event on the TimeLine, and then link path-points, frames and labels to the event.

TrekMap2 automatically creates a "start video" and a "end video" events. These are required and can not be deleted.

Events appear as vertical dashed line on the Flow Tab.

Create an Event ⌘E

To create an event, press the ⌘E key, or use the pull-down menu Edit > Event. Events are always created at the mid point of a video.

Types of Events

• start video - required and automatically generated
• end video - required and automatically generated
• percent - you can set time of event as a fraction of the length of the video.
• frame number - you can peg the event to a unique frame
• time line - if a TimeLine is being used, you can set the date and time of the frame.

Editing Events

You can change the time of an event by dragging it on the Flow Tab. You can also enter the percent, frame number or time/date in the Event Edit Window. Note: if an event is in one mode (for example frame number as shown above) and you change one of the other fields (for example percent) the input will be ignored.
