Examples

Example 1

This is the simple form the spans object can take: a single track pointing to a media file.

<spans>
    <span>
        <path encoding="file">Media/Video1.mov</path>
    </span>
</spans>

Example 2

This example illustrates how spanned clips can be joined together to represent a single stream of frames. In practical terms, this means that the individual media files are treated as contiguous segments of a larger video sequence, allowing seamless playback or editing as if they were a single continuous file. This is common in files created by cameras that have a size limit on the files they create.

<spans>
    <span>
        <path encoding="file">Media/Video1.mov</path>
    </span>
    <span>
        <path encoding="file">Media/Video2.mov</path>
    </span>
    <span>
        <path encoding="file">Media/Video3.mov</path>
    </span>
</spans>
