Sub clips (clips in clip lists)
Clips (or parts of clips) that have been added to a clip list
are called “sub clips”. Sub clips are virtual editing data that
specify ranges in the original clips. You can use them
without modifying the original data.
The following figure illustrates the relation between clips
and sub clips.
In the above example, the whole of clip 2 has been added
as sub clip 1, and the whole of clip 4 has been added as sub
clip 2.
Sub clip 3 is part of clip 3. Therefore, when clip list E0001
is played back, clip 4 is played after clip 2, and then the
part of clip 3 shown in gray color is played.
Clip list editing (current clip list)
To edit a clip list, you need to load the clip list from the
disc into the unit’s internal memory.
The clip list which is currently loaded into the unit memory
is called the “current clip list”.
The current clip list is always the target of sub clip creation
and editing. Clip list playback also uses the current clip
list.
After creating and editing a clip list, you need to save it to
disc.
Clip list playback
Clips and clip lists are saved together on a disc.
To play a clip list, insert a disc into the unit, load the clip
list that you want to play, and press the PLAY button.
Clips are played according to the data in the clip list.
Creating and editing clip lists
The following table lists the steps in the creation and
editing of clip lists with the scene selection function. To
create a clip list, you always need to carry out the steps
inside the heavy lines. Other steps can be carried out as
required.
To reedit clip lists on the disc
Use the Load Clip List command to load the clip lists you
want to edit, and perform the steps 2 to 4 in the previous
section.
You can also delete clip lists on the disc.
For details, see “Managing clip lists” (page 78).
Clip lists can be created and edited even when the write
inhibit tab of the disc is set to recording disabled, and when
REC INH on the HOME page of the function menu is set
to ON. However, if you need to save the clip list, set write
inhibit tab and REC INH to enable recording before you
create or edit the clip list.
