Recent Clips Pop-Up Menu
This pop-up menu shows recently used clips. A clip is not added to this list when first
opened in the Viewer, but only when another clip replaces it. The last clip that was
replaced in the Viewer appears at the top of the list. By default, the maximum number
of clips that appear in this list is 10, but you can change this number. For more
information, see Volume IV, Chapter 23, “Choosing Settings and Preferences.”
Generator Pop-Up Menu
Use this pop-up menu to create a generator clip, such as bars and tone, text, black, a
color matte, or a gradient. A generator clip appears in the Viewer; you can then
customize it using the Controls tab. For more information, see Volume III, Chapter 21,
“Using Generator Clips.”
The clip replaced most
recently is at the top
of the list.
