a number of Clips and nest Groups inside each other. It is also possible to disable individual
Groups and color Groups so you can identify them easily.
Grouping Clips
To create a Group from a number of Clips:
1. Select the Clips you want to group.
2. Make sure you have the Groups window displayed.
3. Select "Group selected clips" from the drop down menu or click the Group icon.
4. Enter a name for the Group in the dialog that appears and click OK.
The new Group appears in the Group list. All Clips included in the Group will also have the
name of the Group prepended to the Clip names in each track. Clicking on a Group in the
Groups window will select all the Clips in your Montage so you can edit them together.
Adding Clips to an existing Group
If you already have a Group, and want to add one or several more Clips to it:
1. Select the Clips you want to add.
2. In the Groups view, select "Group selected clips", or click the corresponding icon.
3. In the dialog that appears, select the Group to which you want to add the Clips.
4. Click OK.
Removing Groups
1. Select the Group by clicking on its name in the Groups view list.
2. Pull down the Grouping menu and select "Remove selected group". The Group is
removed (the Clips are not affected).
Using Groups
There are some important things to remember when using Groups:
A Clip cannot be part of more than one Group. If you add a Clip to a Group, it is
automatically removed from any other Group it is part of.
It is possible to create nested Groups, by adding a Group to another Group.
You can temporarily "turn off" a Group by deactivating the checkbox to the left of a
Group in the list. When a Group is deactivated, you can move individual Clips in the
Group, as if they were not grouped.
You can select a specific color for a Group to make it easy to discern it in the track view.
