Record Clips First

To define a clip by recording and then naming the clip:

1. Click a panel to select it.

2. If any clips are listed in the Clips box, choose

VideoClip | Eject All Clips

to

clear the clip list.

3. Click the

Record

button in the selected Panel dialog box to begin recording.

A clip named #1 (or other number for a unique clip name) appears in the clip
list for the panel.

4. If you are in

Loop

or

Bounce

mode, the clip is limited in size to either 1,000

fields or to the last clip length specified in the Loop/Bounce Length dialog
box.

5. Click

Stop

to stop recording.

If you repeat these steps to record additional clips, they are named
sequentially—one higher than the previous clip. For example, #2, #3, and so
forth.

6. Choose

VideoClip | Rename Clip

to open the Rename Video Clip dialog

box (see “Renaming a Clip” on page 194).

7. Click on the clip to be renamed (such as #1).

8. Enter the new name in the

To

field. Spaces and uppercase characters are

acceptable; however, uppercase and lowercase characters will not distiguish
clip names.

9. Click

OK

.
