You can expand the clip history of a Source Area clip to view modules and soft effects that have been used to create a clip or element. However, you see a read-only clip history—you cannot adjust settings or modify the clip.

You can view the clip history from History or Large History view. History view takes up less space in the user interface. However, when you have a clip history that contains multiple sources and intermediates, you may not be able to see all of them in History view. To see more of the clip history, switch to Large History view. With either option selected, you can view clip history as a list or schematic.

To view the clip history of clips in the Source Area:

1. Select a clip with history in the Source Area.
2. Do one of the following:
   • Select either History (Ctrl+F5) or Large History (Ctrl+Shift+F5) from the View Modes box in the Record Area.
   • Double-click the H icon on the clip in the Source Area.
3. To switch between History and Large History view, hold Ctrl and swipe the bar below the Source Timeline Area.
4. Select Source Clip from the Source/Record History box.

   The clip history appears in the Record Area. The clip history is read-only.

5. Select an option from the History View box.

   Select:	To view:
   Schematic view	Nodes that represent the operations performed on the clip.
   List view	A list of the operations performed on the clip.

   The clip history appears. The following illustration shows some significant components of clip history.
