Working with the clip list
Remarks
$
The first time you double-click a . dvl file in Windows Explorer, you will
need to specify Matrox A/V Tools as the program you want to use to open
.
dvl files.
$
If you load a . dvl file to a clip list that already contains clips, it will
replace the current clip list. If needed, your editing video format in A/V
Tools will be changed to match the video format of the clips in the loaded
clip list.
Copying clips
You can copy a clip or a series of clips in the clip list using either of the following
methods:
• Select the clips you want to copy, right-click the clip list, then choose Copy
from the pop-up menu. Select a clip in the clip list, then choose Paste to
paste the copied clips above the currently selected clip.
• Select the clips you want to copy, then CTRL + drag the clips and drop them
into the sequence you want.

to the clip on disk is copied. A/V Tools assigns the -Copy extension to the Clip ID
of the copied clips .
Moving clips
You can change the order of clips in the clip list, such as to arrange clips in the
order you want to play them back. To rearrange your clips, do any of the
following:

the black line. Releasing the mouse button places the clips in the list and
ripples the position of all subsequent clips in the clip list.
