The Pool
Customizing the view
• You can specify which of the columns are shown or hid-
den by opening the View/Attributes pop-up menu on the
toolbar and selecting/deselecting items.
• You can rearrange the order of the columns by clicking
on a column heading and dragging the column to the left
or right.
The mouse pointer changes to a hand when you place it on the column
heading.
• The width of a column can also be adjusted by placing
the pointer between two column headers and dragging
left or right.
The pointer changes to a divider when you place it between two column
headers.
Operations
Ö Most of the Pool-related main menu functions are also
available on the Pool context menu (opened by right-click-
ing in the Pool window).
Renaming clips in the Pool
To rename a clip in the Pool, select it and click on the ex-
isting name, type in a new name and press [Return].
Ö This will also rename the referenced files on disk!
Duplicating clips in the Pool
To duplicate a clip, proceed as follows:
1. Select the clip you wish to copy.
2. Select “New Version” on the Media menu.
A new version of the clip appears in the same Pool folder, with the same
name but with a “version number” after it, to indicate that the new clip is a
duplicate. The first copy made of a clip will get the version number “2” and
so on.
Inserting clips into a project
To insert a clip into a project, you can either use the Insert
commands on the Media menu or use drag and drop.
Using menu commands
Proceed as follows:
1. Select the clip(s) you want to insert into the project.
2. Pull down the Media menu and select an “Insert into
Project” option.
“At Cursor” will insert the clip(s) at the current project cursor position.
“At Origin” will insert the clip(s) at their Origin Time position(s).
!
Renaming a clip in the Pool is much preferred to re-
naming it outside Cubase AI (for example on the com-
puter desktop). This way, Cubase AI already “knows”
about the change, and will not lose track of the clip the
next time you open the project. See “About missing
files” on page 149 for details about lost files.
!
Duplicating a clip does not create a new file on disk,
but a new edit version of the clip (referring to the same
audio file).
