Clearing Desktop Reels Before Loading Clips

Use the Clear/Load button in the Clip Library menu to delete the destination before loading the selected entry. For example, if you are loading a reel entry, the destination reel is deleted before the reel is loaded.

WarningSince the Clear/Load command will delete the Desktop, use this command with caution.

To clear the Desktop or a reel when you load clips:

1. In the Library menu, click Load, and select a destination reel.
2. In the clip library that appears, select the clip, reel, or Desktop that you want to load.
3. Click Clear/Load.

   The clips are loaded to the Desktop. If you loaded a Desktop, the clips that were previously on the Desktop are cleared and the selected clips are loaded to the Desktop. If you loaded a clip or reel, the reel you selected is cleared and the selected clips are loaded to a reel.
