Selected and Active Clips

There is a distinction between selected and active clips. Some editing functions can only be processed on an individual clip or active clip, while others can be processed on multiple clips or selected clips.

• A selected clip is a clip that you have selected using any of the selecting clips procedures. Several clips can be selected at the same time. This allows you to edit multiple clips at the same time using functions such as copy, delete, move, etc. Selected clips have a different background color. Right-clicking in the top part of a clip opens the Clip Selected Range menu.

• An active clip is the clip that you selected, clicked, or edited last. Only one clip can be active at a time. By default, the active clip is distinguished by a highlighted name label. Some functions can only be processed on an active clip. Right-clicking in the lower part of a clip opens the Active Clip menu.
