The Source Area acts as a holding bin for clips that you use in Backdraft Conform. When you start Backdraft Conform for the first time, the Source Area does not contain any source clips. To add clips to this area, you load them from the clip library.

The Source Area has a swipe bar on its left and right border. Swipe either bar by touching it with the cursor to toggle the display of the Player, a full-featured image window containing controls for playing clips. For information on the Player, see About the Player.
