When adding a media clip to a composition timeline it is possible to add it as

a version of an existing clip segment instead of as a new segment.

By adding a version you preserve the underlying clip segment in the

composition along with all the changes you have made to it (e.g. trimming or

effects). Versions therefore allow you to experiment with different clips, or to

make gradual changes to a clip segment and save each one as a separate

version until you decide which version you want to keep.

A segment containing a version is denoted on the timeline by a triangle in the

centre:

Grey triangles denote the presence of underlying versions in that segment,

and a green triangle identifies the approved version. Approving a version is

simply a mechanism that allows you to differentiate your preferred version

from all the others. You can change the approved version at any time.
