Compound Clips
You can select a series of clips in the Timeline, be they edited one after the other in serial or
superimposed and stacked in parallel, and turn them into a compound clip, which is a single clip
in the Timeline that’s actually comprised of many other audio and video clips embedded inside.
This allows you to work with a block of clips as if it were a single unit, governed by a single set of
Inspector controls, and able to be connected to another clip in your timeline by a single transition.
Editing a compound clip works the same as editing any other type of clip. They can be edited,
trimmed, and deleted using all the same methods. In addition, compound clips can be renamed,
and decomposed back into their component clips right in the Timeline.
To create a compound clip by selection:
1 Select a range of clips.

The New Compound Clip Properties dialog
A compound clip is created which takes the place of the original clips you selected on
the Timeline. Additionally, a copy of that compound clip appears in the currently
selected bin of the Media Pool.
