The Batch module is made up of a schematic where you assemble a process tree, bins where you select the nodes for your process tree, multiple viewports for viewing changes in-context, and various sets of controls for performing Batch operations on clips and nodes. Some controls may vary depending on whether you are in the main Batch level or in a BFX level.

You can access the Batch module with or without preselected clips. Clips can be mono or stereo. For information on accessing a BFX level, see Creating Batch FX.
