Sorting the Pool contents
You can sort the clips in the Pool by name, date etc. This
is done by clicking on the corresponding column heading.

cending and descending sort order.
Column Description
Media This column contains the Audio, Video and Trash folders. If
the folders are opened, the clip names are shown and can
be edited. This column is always shown.

the project. If there is no entry in this column, the corre-
sponding clip is not used.

rent Pool and clip status. See “About the Status column
symbols” on page 145 for a description of the icons.

activate Musical Mode. If the Tempo column (see below)
displays “???”, you have to enter the correct tempo be-
fore you can activate Musical Mode.

clips: The sample rate, bit resolution, number of channels
and the length in seconds. For video clips it displays the
frame rate, number of frames, and length in seconds.

the hard disk.

in this column. The Reel Name describes the “physical”
reel or tape from which the media was originally captured.
Symbol Description
This indicates the current Pool Record folder (see
“Changing the Pool Record folder” on page 152).
This symbol is shown if a clip has been processed.
The question mark indicates that a clip is referenced in
the project but missing from the Pool (see “About mis-
sing files” on page 149).
This indicates that the clip file is external, i.e. located out-
side the current Audio folder for the project.
This indicates that the clip has been recorded in the cur-
rently open version of the project. This is useful for finding
recently recorded clips quickly.

column and sort order.
