text to be used when naming clips created from
the selected clip.
Name Determines the root name for the auto-cre-
ated clips.

quentially numbered new clips.
Number of Places Determines the number of dig-
its that occur before the auto numbers.
Suffix Specifies text to be appended to the end of
the name, following the auto numbering.
4 Click OK.
If the Clip List Selection Follows Edit Selec-
tion option in the Editing Preferences page is
