Working with the clip list
The following sections explain how to add new clips to the clip list, play back
clips, save and load clip lists, copy, move and delete clips, and how to detach and
resize the clip list.
Adding clips
You can add a clip or a series of clips (. avi files) to the clip list using any of the
following methods:
• Drag an . avi file from a file management program, such as Windows
Explorer, to the clip list. If you’re adding clips to an existing clip list, you
can drag them to the bottom of the clip list, or place them in a specific
position using the methods described in the section
“Moving clips” on
page 201 .
• Right-click the clip list, then choose Import Clip from the pop-up menu (or
double-click an empty area of the clip list). In the Open dialog box, select
the .avi files you want to import, then click Open .
Playing back clips
You can play back your clips one at a time, or in the same sequence as they
appear in the clip list. To play back your clips:
• Select a clip in the clip list and click the Play button on the transport
controls.
• Right-click a clip on the clip list and choose Play .
• To play back multiple clips in sequence, select a range of clips in the clip list
using SHIFT + click or select individual clips using control click, then use
one of the afore-mentioned methods to play them back.
Saving and loading a clip list
To save a clip list, right-click the clip list. Choose Save As from the pop-up
menu to save your current clip list as a .dvl file.
You can load a clip list ( .dvl ) using any of the following methods:
• Right-click the clip list. Choose Open Clip List or Open Recent to select a
recently opened clip list.
• Drag a .dvl file from a file management program, such as Windows Explorer,
to the clip list.
• Double-click the .dvl file in Windows Explorer to start A/V Tools and load
the clip list. Make sure that A/V Tools is not running when you do this.
