About the Descriptive Scene and Shot Data
All the shots for a scene are related to that scene, and all the source clips for a shot
are related to that shot. Because the database remembers these relationships, you
only need to enter the descriptive data for each scene and shot once.
When you enter or change the descriptive data for a scene, that same data appears
for all the other shots associated with that scene, both in existing database records
and any records you create later that have the same scene identifier.
The descriptive information is
automatically added to all
other database records with
the same scene identifier
(8, in this example).
