PASTE FROM LIBRARY

It is also possible to paste material into the GRID from libraries. Pressing F5 or F6 will
display this screen:
Here, you may scroll up and down the list of library clips and select the one you wish to
paste and then press EXECUTE to paste it. You may, if you wish, scroll to the top of the
screen so that the cursor is resting on the library name and select a different library to
paste from using the DATA ENTRY +/- keys.
If you are at all unsure about a particular clip, you can use the INFO key to display
information about the currently highlighted clip. For example:
This example shows that this clip is just over four seconds long and uses two tracks and
has two cues and the comments that have been attached give some information about it.
Press EXIT to close this screen and return to the library page.
You may also audition the selected clip prior to pasting it in by pressing the PLAY key on
F3/F4.
Once you have selected the clip you want, press EXECUTE to paste it and close the
library screen.
NOTE: If you wish to keep the library page open to repeatedly paste clips into your project,
you can press SHIFT+EXECUTE. This will paste the selected clip into the project but will
keep the library page open so that you can maybe jog to a new position and paste in
another clip without needing to leave this library page.
As with pasting from the clipboard, it is also possible to paste from the library referenced to
the source material's SYNC or OUT point. Prior to going into the library page, press SYNC
or OUT as appropriate. Now press F5/F6 to enter the library page and select a clip to
paste followed by EXECUTE. This will paste the selected clip in at the NOW time
referenced to the clips SYNC or OUT point. The important thing to remember is to select
the reference point before entering the library page. However, should you forget, you can
return to the PASTE FROM CLIPBOARD page by pressing F5/F6, select SYNC or OUT as
appropriate and then return to the FROM LIBRARY page.
NOTE: If you try to paste referenced to a SYNC mark and there isn't one, it will paste
referenced to the clip's IN point
