Selected clips in the Timeline
New compound clip
Compound clips have the following characteristics:
•
You create compound clips in the Browser or in the Timeline.

Parent compound clip
•
When you edit the contents of any compound clip, you are in fact editing the parent
compound clip from the Browser. Any changes you make to the compound clip are inherited
by all of its child clips. For example, if you delete a title clip from the contents of a parent
compound clip, the title clip is deleted from all child clips.
You can create an independent compound clip from an existing compound clip. For example,
you might have a compound clip of a standard title sequence for your TV or podcast series.
You can create unique (independent) instances of the compound clip for each episode
without affecting other instances of the title sequence.
