- When dragging a movie from the library into the workbench, the "active play" area marked in QuickTime Player is used to automatically set the movie's in- and out-point.
- Defining a new in/out-point and/or poster frame will generate a metadata sidecar file with the extension .xml and the same name as the movie file, right beside the movie on your storage.
