Accessing Modules
When you
enter a module 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 order is the same: front first, back
second, matte third, and destination fourth. Exceptions to this are:
- The
Paint and Text modules, where you have the option of entering without
clips.
- The
Batch module, where you can 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 an arrow.
- Select
the clip on the desktop reels by clicking its upper-left corner.

| Green arrow |

- Once
all the required clips for the module are selected, the cursor becomes
a white arrow. Click the desktop reel to select the destination for
the processed result clip.
When you process clips from a 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.
