Displaying Clips in the Clip List
The Clip List can show all clip types (audio, MIDI,
video, Groups, Auto-Created), or only certain clip
types. This is useful for isolating the type of clips
you want to work with while editing and arranging.
For example, when arranging clip groups, you may
want the Clip List to show only clip groups.
To show or hide certain types of clips in the Clip
List:
 Click the Clip List menu (at the top of the Clip
List) and choose
Show. From the submenu,
select or deselect the clip type you want to show
or hide.
Audio Shows or hides audio clips in the Clip List.
MIDI Shows or hides MIDI clips in the Clip List.
Video Shows or hides video clips in the Clip List.
Groups Shows or hides clip groups in the Clip
List.
Auto-Created Shows or hides automatically-cre-
ated clips (of all types) in the Clip List. These are
clips that were created as a by-product of cutting,
pasting, and separating other clips. Since these
auto-created clips can become numerous, hiding
them (by deselecting the option) helps you to avoid
scrolling through an unnecessarily long Clip List.
In the Clip List, whole-file audio clips are dis-
played in bold, and stereo and multichannel audio
clips can be expanded to display individual chan-
nels.
If the
Clip List Selection Follows Edit Selection op-
tion is enabled in the Editing preferences, selecting
a clip or clip group in the Clip List selects it on any
track where it is present in assigned playlists. Like-
wise, selecting a clip or clip group on a track se-
lects it in the Clip List.
Displaying File Info for Audio
Clips
In addition to clip names, the Clip List can also dis-
play information about the clip’s color coding,
type (audio, MIDI, and clip group), timebase, Elas-
tic Audio processing, and parent file:
Color Displays Track Color Coding as assigned
with Default Clip Color Coding option in Display
Preferences page, or as assigned in the Color Pal-
ette.
Icon Displays the icon for audio and MIDI clips,
and clip groups.
Timebase Displays the timebase (samples or ticks)
for audio and MIDI clips, and clip groups.
Warp Indicator Displays the Warp Indicator icon if
Elastic Audio processing has been applied to the
clip.
File Name Displays the parent file name.
Disk Name Displays the name of the hard drive on
which referenced file resides.
Full Path Displays the full directory path of the
clip’s parent file.
Channel Name Displays the channel name for
audio files imported from field recorders.
Scene and Take Displays the scene and take for
audio files imported from field recorders.
Hiding Auto-Created clips can be useful
when importing clip groups (or REX files
as clip groups), because these file types can
contain so many separate clips that it be-
comes difficult to read the Clip List.
