Duplicating Media

To duplicate media means that you copy a clip or master and the underlying
media files that the clip or master reference. A normal copy operation does not
copy the associated media files, only references to those media files.

To duplicate a clip or master:

1. In the contents pane, select the clip or master you want to duplicate.

2. Choose

Duplicate

from the

Edit

menu or from the shortcut menu with a

right-click. The Duplicate operation always automatically renames the new
clip.

Creating, Renaming and Deleting Bins

A bin can have a name up to 32 characters long. Spaces are legal characters, but
count for two characters. Colons (:) and slashes (/) are illegal. Tildes (~) are
only illegal as a first character in a bin name.

To create a new bin:

1. In the tree pane, select the machine or volume where you want to create the

new bin. When a volume icon is selected, the new bin is added to that
volume. When a machine icon is selected, a new bin is created in the first
volume in that machine.

2. Choose

New Bin

on the

File

menu or from the shortcut menu with a right-

click.

3. A new bin called

NewBin

is placed in the tree. The bin name is highlighted

so you can change it. Accept the new bin name by pressing

Enter

.

Rename All

Automatically changes the names of all clips being
copied to avoid name conflicts at their new location.

Rename

Use the replacement clip name to change the name
of the current clip at its new location.

Replace

Delete the clip currently at the destination to resolve
the conflict.
