Parent/Child Clips
You can create virtual copies of a clip. These child clips are essentially pointers to the parent clip that use an independent
set of metadata. This allows you to create a number of child clips that are trimmed differently from their parent and each
other without taking up additional space on the media drive.
Once a child clip has been created, you cannot delete the parent clip until all the child clips have been deleted.
To Create a Child Clip
The child clip can have different metadata from the parent clip.
Note: You cannot create a child clip of a parent clip if it is locked or if it is not an Abekas

Note: You cannot create a child clip if the parent clip is locked.
