Replacing Media in the Timeline

Often you have to replace one clip in a session with a different clip. For example, you may need to
replace an old version of an effects shot with a newer one that’s just been delivered, or an offline version
of a stock footage shot with a higher quality one.

1.

Select the clip in the Media Pool that you want to swap into the Timeline.

2.

Select the clip in the Timeline that you want to swap out.

3.

Do one of the following:

• Click the Replace Clip button.

• Right-click the clip in the Timeline, and choose “Replace With Selected Clip in Media
Pool” from the contextual menu.

The clip in the Timeline is now replaced with the clip from the Media Pool.

Tip: Another way of managing multiple versions of updated effects shots is to superimpose each
updated shot onto a new video track. That way you can keep older clips, along with their grades,
available in the session for later reference.
