Edit atom ('edts')

Overview

You use edit atoms to define the portions of the media that are to be used to build up a track for a movie. The edits themselves are contained in an edit list table, which consists of time offset and duration values for each segment. Edit atoms have an atom type value of 'edts'.

In the absence of an edit list, the presentation of a track starts immediately. An empty edit is used to offset the start time of a track.
