Adding Clips to a Setup

You can load clips into an empty setup as well as add clips to the current setup using the Library or Import node. To replace a clip, you select one from the library.

When adding media with the Action node, you can either add media to the Media list or to an indirect layer of the Action node.

If you are replacing clips or adding media with the Action node, you are limited to the number of clips you can select from the library. The message bar in the library indicates when you can no longer select additional clips.

To load clips into Batch from the library:

1. Go to the library.
2. Select a library from the Clip Library box.
3. Do any of the following:
   - Click a clip to select it.
   - To select multiple clips, Ctrl-click each clip.
   - To select all clips in a range, select the first clip and then Ctrl+Shift-click the last clip in the range.

   Numbers appear in the clip indicating the order in which they will be loaded into Batch.

   (a) Clip selection order

4. Click Load.

   The clips are loaded in the order selected. Blue clip names indicate the clips as library clips.

To replace clips in Batch:

1. Double-click the clip in the Batch schematic.

   The library appears.

2. Select the replacement clip.
   NoteYou can only select one clip when replacing a clip. If you select a second clip, the first clip is deselected and the second clip becomes number 1.
3. Click Load.

   The original clip is replaced with the new selection.

To add media with the Action node:

1. Do one of the following:
   - To add media to the Media list, select Add Media from the Media List box. Select a clip in the library and then click Load. You can only select two clips (front and matte) when adding media with this option.
   - To add an indirect layer to the Action node, select the <new media> line from the Media list and then select Add Input from the Media List box. Connect front and matte clips to the indirect layer.
   - To replace both the front and matte media in the Media list, double-click the 1F (Front) or 1M (Matte) Media line (in the # column), and then select the front and matte clips.
   - To replace either the front or matte media in the Media list, double-click the Front or Matte Media Name line (in the Name column), and then select the front or matte clip.
