You can join together either two source clips or all the clips on a reel. This creates a single clip with a soft edit (a splice) at the location where the clips were joined.

To display the Splice menu, click Splice in the Editing menu.

To splice two clips together:

1. Click Splice in the Editing menu.
2. Select Src Out/Rec In from the Splice Type box.
3. From the Sources box, select Keep Sources to keep the source clips or select Delete Sources to remove them from the Desktop after creating the splice.
4. Select Video & Audio or Video from the Video/Audio box. See Splicing Clips with Audio.
5. In the source clip, select the last frame before the splice. The frames from the beginning of the clip up to and including the selected frame will be contained in the new clip.
6. In the record clip, select the first frame after the splice. The frames from the selected frame up to the last frame in the clip will be contained in the new clip.
7. Select the destination reel.

   The two clips are spliced together to form a clip that is added to the destination reel. A yellow transition handle indicates where the two clips were spliced together. To remove the yellow handle, commit the clip. See Committing Soft Clips.

   If you are showing source and record timecode, the first timecode (left) is the original timecode of each source clip. The second timecode (right) is the new timecode for the splice starting at the record in timecode of the outgoing clip.

   After creating the splice, the cursor reverts to a red arrow so that you can repeat the Splice command using another set of clips.

   
   

   Action: In the source clip, select the last frame before the splice

   
   

   Action: In the record clip, select the first frame after the splice

   
   

   Result: The clips are spliced together

To splice together all clips on a reel:

1. Click Splice in the Editing menu.
2. Select Reel from the Splice Type box.
3. From the Sources box, select Keep Sources to keep the source clips or select Delete Sources to remove them from the Desktop after creating the splice.
4. Select the reel containing the clips you want to splice together.
5. Select the destination reel.

   All clips on the reel are spliced together into one clip and placed on the destination reel.

   Yellow transition handles indicate where the clips were spliced together. To remove the yellow handle, commit the clip. See Committing Soft Clips.
