MatchingElementswith Their Source Clip
 
 
 

You can match an element with its source clip. If a match is found, a copy of the clip is put in the Batch schematic.

In the Preferences menu, the Match option in the Timeline section determines where Inferno looks for the source clip.

If the segment you are matching has head and tail frames, these frames are included in the copy that is created in the schematic. An in point and an out point are added to the copy, marking the portion of the clip that is used in the original segment. This allows you to overwrite the original segment with the matched segment such that the overwrite conforms exactly with the original. For example, you could apply an effect to the matched clip, process it, and overwrite the original.

If you are working with Batch setups, you can also match source clips used in any BFX level. See Matching and Copying Sources from BFX View.

NoteInferno has one level of Match. If you process a source clip, the new clip becomes the source clip, which can be found with the Match command. It is therefore a good idea to always keep a copy of the un-edited original material.

To match a clip with its source clip:

  1. Select the elements that you want to match in the timeline.
    TipIf you do not make a selection, the clip under the positioner's focus point is matched.
  2. Do one of the following:
