The clips continue to reference the same media files as they did in their original project.
To import clips from another project, do the following:
Step 1
Open the Import menu using
Import
in the Edit Megamode
Step 2
Choose a file from the Open dialog and click OK.
This opens the Import File (i.e. the one from which you will import)
Step 3
Move around the Import File and locate the clip(s) you want to import.
You can use a range or not, and select one or more tracks. The targeted clips will be red.
Step 4
Press the Copy soft key.
This will copy the targeted clips to the clipboard, and re-open your original file.
Step 5
Locate to the position where you want to paste the copied clips, and press ENTER.
The clips are pasted. The system immediately goes back to the Import File, allowing you to find
and copy more clips. It will continue to alternate between the Import File and your current
project until you select another mode.
The clips will be sample rate converted on import to match your current project.
Clip Level
Each clip has a volume level that you can set. This is a quick and easy alternative to fader automation
for many situations.
To set the level of a clip:
Step 1
Select a track and move a clip under the cursor.
Step 2
Press the
clip
level
button (if not already on).
Step 3
Press the
Clip
Set
soft key.
Step 4
A dialog in Edit screen shows the current clip level. Change it using the
Jog
Wheel
(not if the
transport is in Jog mode) or the
Numeric
Keypad
(it must be available for parameter entry i.e.
not used by Loc, Set, Fader Sets etc)
Step 5
Press the
Enter
button.
It is also possible to trim the clip level i.e. move it up and down rather than set an absolute value. Use
the
Trim
Clip
command for this.
When using a range, all the clips that are wholly inside the range can be affected. Clip Set or Clip Trim
can be used.
Jog Level and Jog Display
A quick way to change clip level or display amplitude is to use the Jog Level and Jog Display buttons.
These appear next to the Jog Wheel whenever the Clip Level menu is active.
To quickly change clip level:
