Expanding Clip History in Batch

You can load a clip with clip history into Batch to display a process tree that recreates the clip from its original sources, through all operations and effects, to its final output. You can then modify the process tree at any point. Once you have modified a clip, you can process it to create new clips, which, in turn, also have their own history.

To expand a clip's history in Batch:

1. From the Main menu, click Processing.
2. Click Batch, and then select a destination reel.
3. Click Setup, and then enable Fill with Intermediates.

   
   

   Each node's cache is filled with the intermediate clips contained in the history. Filling a Batch history tree's cache increases interaction speed and avoids the need to reprocess effects that were already rendered.

   NoteIf an intermediate clip corresponding to a step in the history is deleted, the cache for that particular node is not filled.
4. Drag a Desk node to the Batch schematic.

   The Desktop appears.

5. Select the clip with clip history and click Exit Clip Select.
6. Double-click the clip in the Batch schematic.
7. Click Basic.

   
   

8. Do one of the following:

   Click:	To expand:
   Expand Hist	The entire clip history into a Batch process tree.
   Expand One	The most recent step of the selected clip's history. If the input clip to the last node also contains history (denoted by “H” in the clip name), you can also expand the history for that clip.

   
   

   NoteUsing Expand One to display a clip's history will not display any Action media. If you want to expand the history of clips on any media, you have to convert the media into Batch Action media, and then expand the history for that clip.
9. Edit, add, or remove nodes, or connect and disconnect nodes and clips as you would in any Batch structure. See Batch Processing.
10. Add an Output node to the process tree, set the processing options, and then click Process to render the Batch tree. See Outputting and Exporting Batch Results.

    The new clip is added to the specified destination. The original clip remains unchanged.
