Thumbnail view
Thumbnails are the most intuitive way to display your clips. Hover your mouse over the clip's thumbnail
and then click on the popup info icon at the bottom-right of the thumbnail. Click the info bubble to hide it.
List view
You can view your clips in Timecode List view by clicking on the Timecode List button at the top-right of the
Media List. Use the horizontal scroll bar to view all the columns of information for your clips.
Creating and using bins
To create a bin, right click an empty spot in the Media List and select "Create Bin". Name the new bin.
You can move clips around by dragging the clip icons to the desired bin. If you want a clip to appear in more
than one bin, import the same clip again by right-clicking on the bin and choosing "Import Clip".
By default, logged clips appear in the Scratch. If you want to log clips and have them appear in a new bin,
right-click the new bin and choose "Select As Log Bin".
Creating and using favorites
In the Log and Capture tab, click the "star" icon next to the Name field if you want to log a clip as a favorite.
In the Playback tab, clicking the "star" icon will make the clip a favorite if it is selected in the Media List. Click
the "star" icon again to deselect it as a favorite.
Clips marked as favorites will show a yellow star in their icon in Timecode List view and Thumbnail view.
Once you have marked clips as favorites, click on the "Show only favorites" button at the top of the Media
list. The star icon will turn yellow. All clips will be hidden except for those marked as favorites.
Linking an audio clip to a video clip
To link an audio clip to a video clip in the Media List:
Select a video clip which contains no audio channels.
Right-click on the video clip and select ‘Link Audio File’ from the contextual menu.
You can now play back the combined clip or master it to tape.
In the Media List, choose to view your clips in Timecode List view
or Thumbnail view. Click the Favorites button to show only your
favorite clips. Type in the Search field to find your favorite clips.
Click a thumbnail's popup info icon to view the info bubble.
In the Log and Capture tab, click the "star" icon next to the
Name field if you want to log the clip as a favorite.
