The Replace function and the Create Clip From Timeline function both make it
possible to consolidate and replace a part of the timeline. However both functions
follow different purposes and methods.

UNCTION
The Replace function aims at replacing a part of a timeline by the initial A/V
material associated with A/V effects that has been added by external devices.
Typical use is to add graphical effects inside a video track or to add mixed audio
as voice-over to an audio track.
With the Replace function, the output:
• overwrites the initial timeline material
• cannot be saved as a separate clip (and is therefore only available in the
timeline)
• is only available at the end of the Replace process

UNCTION
The Create Clip From Timeline function aims at replacing a part of a timeline that
includes several effects defined in IPEdit in order to consolidate the A/V material
in the timeline. Typical use is to consolidate several consecutive small timeline
elements into a single clip, to ensure a smooth playout.
With the Create Clip From Timeline function, the output:
• overwrites or not the initial timeline material
• is saved as a separate clip (and can therefore be used outside the timeline)
• is directly available as a growing clip in IPDirector
