Matching and Copying Sources from BFX View
 
 
 

In the BFX View, you can match sources used in any BFX level without navigating to the actual Batch FX setup. You can also quickly copy sources used in one BFX level to any other level.

You bring sources into a BFX level from EditDesk record timeline segments.

When you copy a source, the timing of the segment on the record timeline is kept as well as any soft effects applied to the segment.

When you match a source, the timing of the segment on the record timeline and any soft effects applied to the segment are not copied. Only the actual source is matched.

To copy a source:

  1. Select the source clip to copy from the BFX View.
    NoteYou cannot select clips within containers.

    If you accessed the BFX View from a BFX level, a copy of the source clip, including any soft effects applied to its timeline segment, appears in the Batch schematic and in the BFX View at the current BFX level.

    If you accessed the BFX View from the EditDesk record timeline, a copy appears only in the Source Area.

    The copy keeps the timing of the segment on the original timeline.
