Accessing Modules with Previous Clips

The Same Clips option is a shortcut for selecting clips from the Desktop reels when you want to access Flame modules. When you use the Same Clips option, the clips that you selected the last time you used that module during the current work session are automatically used—you do not have to manually select the clips.

The search for the same clips is done by clip ID. TheDesktop reels are searched first; if the clip is not found there, the current clip library is searched, and then the other clip libraries.

NoteIf a clip is deleted from the Desktop but is still in the Undo buffer, the Same Clips option will not find it, unless Undo is used to return the clip to the Desktop.

To open a module with the same clips as previously used:

1. Click the button for the module you want to use.

   An “S” button appears to the right of the module button.

2. Click the module button again to activate the Same Clips option.
3. Select a destination.

   The module opens with the clips from the previous session (if they are found). The most recent settings are also restored.

   NoteIf you select the Same Clips option and have not used the module in the current work session, or if the clips cannot be found, an error message is displayed indicating that no previous clips were selected.
