Segments with White Outline
When you are working with a multi-version clip, and that clip is updated by an external application, any

for this segment. It appears in the following cases:

■ Use Update Source, Select Latest Version, or Select Current Version and the segment actually updates to
display a version different from the one already displayed.
■ Perform Select Latest Version, Select Current Version, and Update Source on a sequence, multi-selected
sequences, a reel, Reels Group, or a library: every segment within that changed version is outlined with
white.

Adding New Versions
From the timeline, you can create a new version of a multi-version segment with the New Version button.
To be able to create a new version from the Timeline, the currently selected version in the timeline must
have been created in Batch, with the Write File node's Include Setup enabled.
NOTE The New Version button is only displayed if a Batch setup is available.
Create New Version Provides access to the open setup in a fashion similar to History. Like History, exiting
automatically triggers a new render, however in this case it will create all of the required media and metadata
in the appropriate paths in the job tree, and appends a version to the timeline segment.
Promote to ConnectFX Ingests the shot directly in the current timeline, and converts any included setup
into a BFX, discarding the source clip and other versions. In most cases, you cannot demote from a BFX.
Matte Containers
If the multi-version clip is in a container (or a Matte container), you can switch between versions from the
Timeline using the contextual menu. But if the contextual menu shows Out of Sync, the components of the
container are actually different clips: you have to enter the Container, and then update the select the desired
versions.
Multi-Version Clips and Conform
If you unlink a multi-version clip and relink it at a later time, as long as you use an Open Clip, it will relink
to the original version.
it is possible to conform sequences using Open Clips, either already imported in the Media Library or from
a file system location.
