is an adaptation, and the displayed name is followed an incremental number:
in this case, the number 2. If you then clone the adaptation to another track
for the same object, the new clip is an instance of that clip, and will be
displayed with the number 2. These numbers can help you determine which
clips are instances of one another, and which are adaptations.
The ability to tell instances from adaptations becomes important when you
replace a clip in the Mixer with another clip. During this operation, you have
the option of replacing only the selected clip, only the instances of the clip,
or all instances and adaptations of the clip.
NOTE Operations in the Mixer, such as cloning clips and editing clip timing, do
not affect the clip sources (BIP files).
