Replacing Sources in the Clip History

Managing Your Work Environment > Clip History > Modifying Clip History >

You can replace sources only on clips with history that are in the Record Area. The sources you swap must be of the same resolution and bit depth.

Replacing the source clip in clip history allows you to:

Consolidate sources before you archive your projects.
Reuse setups for different clips.

If the new source is longer than the original source, the new source is shortened to fit the duration of the original source. If the new source is shorter that the original, the last frame of the new source is repeated to the end of the segment.

NoteThe hot key to switch between hermite and straight lines in the clip history view is now Shift+Ctrl-click.
