About Clip History
 
 
 

The Clip History feature tracks and updates operations you have applied to a clip or element. It expands the clip, providing a view of your operations. To easily see all of a clip's operations, you can display the clip history as a list or schematic on the EditDesk, or in the Batch schematic.

Clips that have a clip history contain sources and intermediates. Sources are any of the original clips used to build an effect, for example, clips captured using an EDL. Sources are outlined in green in the clip history. Intermediates are clips that are created when building a clip that uses multiple effects or operations.

There are three ways that you can modify a clip using its clip history:

Clips with history are indicated by the letter “H”. Edited soft clips with at least one segment with history are denoted by “h”. The following EditDesk views indicate if a clip has history:
