Clips are a sequence of images or frames loaded from an external device such as a VTR and stored in digital format. They are loaded into Batch from the clip library, the EditDesk, or the Import Image module. Clips form the root element of a process tree.

Batch clips can contain video tracks or stereo tracks. Each type supports dual output. Clips with video tracks have RGB and matte outputs. Clips with stereo tracks have left eye and right eye outputs corresponding to the left eye and right eye layers of its stereo track.
