You can commit a clip with a history, or a clip segment with a history just as you would any other clip. When commiting a clip, you delete the clip history without removing the clip or element's soft properties.

You can also perform a hard commit from the timeline. See Committing Clips on the Timeline.

You can commit a clip with history from both the timeline and a clip library.

To commit a clip's history from the record timeline:

1. Select the timeline elements with history that you want to commit.
2. Select Commit History from the Edit Mode box and confirm.

   
   

To commit a clip's history in a clip library:

1. In the EditDesk menu, select the clip library you want to open, and then click the Clip Library box.

   
   

   The current clip library appears.

2. Select the clips with clip history that you want to commit.
3. In the Clip Library menu, click Tools.
4. From the Tools menu, click Consolidate.
