The template can have all data fields filled in or you can use the template to partially fill
in the database for a series of clips that have common information. For example, if you

which has “Test Pattern” in the Category field, and “Engineering” in the User field. As
you save the clips, you will only need to enter the appropriate title information.

Regularly using the Template enables you to find clips much faster.
