Element Boundaries

When the physical clip replaced the virtual element in the playlist, the virtual
element’s boundaries are:

recalculated to match the boundaries of the restored clip, if the Use clip

boundaries option was selected.

preserved if the Use virtual element boundaries option was selected.

Virtual Element Name and Clip Name

When only the virtual element name or clip name is defined, the available name is

applied to the non-attributed name.

When both virtual element name and clip name are defined, the clip name
overwrites the virtual element name.
