Chapter 15: Clip List 77
Sort By Options
The Sort By options provide methods for orga-
nizing large numbers of clips.
Audio clips can be sorted by:
•Clip Type
•Name
•Length
•Original Time Stamp
•User Time Stamp
•Timebase
•Start in Parent
•End in Parent
•File Name
•File Length
•File Creation Date
• File Modification Date
•Disk Name (audio and clip groups only)
•Track Format/Width
• By Channel Name
•By Scene and Take
MIDI clips can be sorted by:
•Name, Length
•Original Time Stamp
•User Time Stamp
•Timebase
•Start in Parent
•End in Parent.
Clips can also be sorted by Clip Type (Audio and
MIDI), or in Ascending or Descending order.
Clear
This command lets you remove unwanted clips
from the session. Whole-file clips can also be re-
moved permanently from your hard drive.
Rename
This command lets you rename selected clips.
When you rename a whole-file audio clip, you
can specify whether to rename just the clip, or
both the clip and the disk file.
Auto Rename
This command lets you specify the auto-naming
options for a clip when new clips are created
from it in the course of editing. You can also use
it to rename a large number of clips at once in
numerical order.
Auto-naming of clips does not affect the names
of parent audio files. Instead, it stores pointers
to the clips within the parent source file.
The Auto Rename command opens a dialog with
the following fields:
Name Determines the root name for the auto-
created clips.
Number Sets the start number for the sequen-
tially numbered new clips.
Zeros Determines the number of zeros that oc-
cur before the auto numbers.
Suffix Specifies text to be appended to the end of
the name, following the auto numbering.
Clearing whole-file clips is destructive and
cannot be undone. It permanently removes
the file from your hard drive. There is no way
to recover files deleted with this command.
