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 186).
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 .
Loading and Playing a Clip
To load and play a clip:
1. Click in a panel to select it.
2. If the clip is already loaded, select it from the Clips box and go to step 7.
3. If the clip is not loaded, choose
VideoClip | Load Clip
to open the Load Clip
dialog box.
4. If the clip you want to load is on a different drive, select a different disk drive
in the
Drive
box.
