Moving Entries

You can move clip library entries within a clip library, or using the Dual Library View, between clip libraries. Entries are moved using drag and drop functionality in either Titles or Proxies mode. Drag and drop a single entry or multiple entries with the left mouse button or the pen.

You can move any entry to another location as long as the library's hierarchal structure is maintained. For example, you can move a reel entry into a Desktop entry, but not a Desktop entry into a reel entry.

NoteDrag and drop clips from a Gateway library to import new media in Flame. See Importing Media Files.

To move an entry:

1. In the Library Management menu, click Move on Drag.
   NoteIf you press Spacebar before you select the clip, this will create a copy of the clip rather than simply moving the clip (see the “To copy an entry:” procedure in Copying Entries).
2. Select the clip's title bar (in Titles mode) or the name bar of the clip's proxy (in Proxies mode) and drag the entry over the new position. To select multiple clips, hold Ctrl while selecting the clips.

   The cursor changes to a white or green four-headed arrow. When the cursor is green, the clip is in a location where you can successfully drop it. When the cursor is white, you cannot drop it at the current location. You need to move it closer to the destination.

3. To move a clip to a location in a library currently not displayed, hold the selected clip over the scroll arrow buttons. Alternatively, select a clip and use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll to a new location in the clip library.
4. Release the cursor to drop the entry. In Titles mode, the dropped clip is placed above the nearest clip. In Proxies mode, the dropped clip is placed to the left of the nearest clip. This is illustrated in the following example.
