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.

| Red arrow |

| Green arrow |
The back clip |
| Blue arrow |
The matte clip |
- 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.
