You can commit a clip with a history, or a clip segment with a history just as you would any other clip. When doing so, 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 timeline:

1. Place the clip in the Record area of the EditDesk.
2. From the A/V Tools box, choose Commit History.
3. Click 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. In the clip library, select the clips with clip history that you want to commit.
3. In the Clip Library menu, click Tools.
4. From the Tools menu, choose Consolidate.

   The Consolidate controls appear.
