Selecting Clips to Load Them into a Module
When
you enter modules from the desktop, you select the input clips that
you want to work with. Each module allows for different variations
of input clips, but the loading process is the same: front first,
back second, and matte third (as applicable). Exceptions to this
are:
- The
Paint and Text modules, where you have the option of entering without
clips.
- The
Batch module, where you enter without clips and then input clips
to the Batch desktop using Batch nodes.
To
load clips into a module:
- Click
the module button in, for example, the Effects menu.
The cursor becomes a red arrow.
- The
red arrow indicates that you should select the front clip.
To select the front clip on the desktop reels,
click its upper-left corner.
- If
the cursor becomes a green arrow, select the back clip. Otherwise,
continue with the next step.
- If
the cursor becomes a blue cursor, select the matte clip. Otherwise,
continue with the next step.
- Once
all the input clips for the module are selected, the cursor becomes
a white arrow. The white arrow indicates that you are ready to select
the destination desktop reel for the processed result clip. Click
any desktop reel.
When you process clips from the module, they
appear on the destination reel that you selected, with a red outline.
The most recently processed clip on the desktop always has a red
outline.
To
enter a module with the same clips as the previous session:
- Click
the module button in, for example, the Effects menu.
An āSā appears on the right
edge of the button.
- With
the arrow cursor, click the āSā.
The module opens with the clips from the previous
session. The most recent settings are also restored.
