Interleaving Clips

Interleave is a two-to-one process that shuffles the frames of one clip into another with a regular spacing interval. For example:

- Setting the spacing interval to 1 creates a clip that alternates frames from the first source clip and the second source clip.
- Setting the spacing interval to 3 interleaves each frame of the first source clip after every third frame of the second source clip.

In both cases, the first frame of the new clip is the first frame of the first, or shuffled, source clip.

To interleave clips:

1. In the Format menu, click Interleave.

   The Spacing field appears.

2. Enter a value in the Spacing field.
3. Select the first source clip.
4. Select the second source clip.
   NoteThe clips must be of the same resolution.
5. Select the destination reel.

   After a short time, the result clip appears.
