In the dialog that appears, select a clip to connect to the current database record.
When you select the clip, three things happen:
 The clip is connected to the database.
 A poster frame of the first frame of the clip appears in the Detail View window, and
below the poster frame you see the name of the clip.
∏
Tip: You can click the name or poster frame to open a Clip Analysis dialog that displays
more clip information.
 A Clip window opens for the clip. If you want a different frame to represent the clip
in the database, go to that frame, then click the Poster Frame button. For more
information about the Clip window, see “
Note: If you don’t want the Clip window to open after you connect a clip, press the
Command key when you click the Connect Clip button.
To use the Detail View window to disconnect a captured clip:
1
Open the database record in the Detail View window and press the Command key.
The Open Clip button changes to Disconnect Clip.
2
Click Disconnect Clip.
Note: Clicking this button breaks the link between the source clip and the record so
that they are no longer connected. It does not delete the clip from your hard disk.
The name of the clip appears
below the clip poster frame.
