Creating a Project Clip
In general, the creation of a finished project clip is a 3-step process. You create the project
clip, without media, in the System Database; you add the media in the form of a shot list to
the project clip; you save the completed project clip.
This diagram shows the steps:
Below, we first describe the general procedure for producing a completed project clip. We
then give detailed instructions for performing various tasks referred to in the general
procedure.
To create a finished project clip:
1 Use one of the clip-management buttons to select a project clip to work with:
• New to start a new project clip.
• Load to load an existing project clip.
2 On the Source Shot Selection tab, do the following for each shot you want to include in
your project clip.
• Load a source clip in the Media Viewer.
• Mark a shot and add it to the shot list.
3 Click Save to save the project clip at any time while working on it and when it is
complete.
