Displaying Clips in the Clips List
The Clips List can show all clip types (audio,
MIDI, video, Groups, Auto-Created), or only cer-
tain 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 Clips List to show only
clip groups.
To show or hide certain types of clips in the Clips
List:
 Click the Clips List menu (at the top of the Clips
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 Clips List.
MIDI Shows or hides MIDI clips in the Clips List.
Video Shows or hides video clips in the Clips List.
Groups Shows or hides clip groups in the Clips
List.
Auto-Created Shows or hides automatically-cre-
ated clips (of all types) in the Clips 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 Clips List.
In the Clips 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
Clips List Selection Follows Edit Selection
option is enabled in the Editing preferences, select-
ing a clip or clip group in the Clips List selects it on
any track where it is present in assigned playlists.
Likewise, selecting a clip or clip group on a track
selects it in the Clips List.
Displaying File Info for Audio
Clips
In addition to clip names, the Clips List can also
display information about the clip’s color coding,
type (audio, MIDI, and clip group), timebase, Elas-
tic Audio processing, and parent file:
Timebase Displays the timebase (samples or ticks)
for audio and MIDI clips, and clip groups.
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.
Processing State Displays the Warp Indicator
icon if Elastic Audio processing has been applied
to the clip.
Guitar Settings (Eleven Rack Only) Displays the
Eleven Rack icon if guitar settings are embedded
in the clip.
File Type Displays the File Type icon for audio
and MIDI clips, and clip groups.
File Name Displays the parent file name.
Disk Name Displays the name of the hard drive on
which referenced file resides.
Control-click (Mac) or Start-click (Windows)
to select (or deselect) multiple items in the
Show submenu without closing the menu.
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 Clips List.
