Adding Clips to the Bin Using the ’Add Clip’ Menu Options
You can use the ’Add Clip’ menu options to select video or audio clips
that you want available in the bin.
y Either select the Add Clip menu option on the context menu of the
bin’s contents area or the menu option Add clips… on the menu
Project (section “The ’Project’ Menu” on page 9-3).
Both possibilities open a standard dialog window of the operating sys-
tem for the selection of a file:
Figure 4-8: Dialog window to add a clip to the bin
y Select a video or audio file from the list box or enter its name in the
entry field File name.
y Confirm your selection with the button O
PEN.
The selected video or audio clip will then be added to the contents area
of the bin. By repeating the described steps above you can add as many
clips to your bin as your project needs.
Once clips are available in the bin, you can start working with the Edit
Tool and add them to the timeline (see section “Adding Clips to the
Timeline” on page 6-2).
For a list of the supported file formats see section “Supported
File Formats” on page A-9.
If you select another file than the first video frame file in a
video directory, the scrub bar cursor of the thumbnail (a pos-
sible clip’s inpoint) will be set accordingly.
