The following rules or principles are applicable in the association process:
• If the clips are not Key and Fill clips, the association will automatically convert
them into Key and Fill clips.
• It is possible to drag and drop a normal clip on a fill clip. The normal clip
automatically becomes a key clip.
• A key clip can be associated with more than one fill clips.
• If you drag and drop a key clip onto a fill clip which is already associated with a
key clip, a confirmation message has to be answered to change the association.
• Key clips and normal clips can not be dragged onto a key clip. If you drag such
clips and drop them on a fill clip which is already associated with a key clip, a
confirmation message has to be answered to change the association.
• Fill clips can not be dragged into a normal or fill clip. If you drag and drop a fill
clip, which is already associated with a key clip, onto a key clip, a confirmation
message has to be answered to change the association.
