capture file, but scenes can be assembled in the movie
in any order you choose. Similarly, while you can’t
trim (edit) scenes in the Album, in your movie you can
use as much or as little of a scene as desired.

The checkmark remains as long as any clip in the
Movie Window belongs to that scene.

Project menu command. Studio highlights any clips
in the Movie Window based on the selected scene (or
