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.
