INSERT FROM LIBRARY

You may also insert clips into your project from the library. Pressing F5 or F6 will display
this screen:
As with PASTE and OVERLAY, you may use the CURSOR keys to scroll around this list of
library clips and pressing EXECUTE will insert the currently highlighted clip into the GRID at
the NOW time. If at any time you are unsure what exactly you have selected, press the
INFO key to see details about the selected clip. You will see something like the following:
This shows that the currently highlighted clip is a stereo thunder effect and someone has
been kind enough to include some helpful comments about it for your information.
You may also audition the clip by pressing PLAY (F3/F4)
Once you have selected the clip you want, press EXECUTE - this will insert the clip and
close the screen ready for you to move on and do the next one.
NOTE: If you wish to keep the library page open to repeatedly insert clips into your project,
you can press SHIFT+EXECUTE. This will insert the selected clip into the project but will
keep the library page open so that you can maybe jog to a new position and insert
another clip without needing to leave this library page.
You may also insert clips from the library referenced to their SYNC or OUT marks. To
select SYNC or OUT, press the appropriate key SYNC or OUT then press F5 or F6. When
you insert the selected clip, it will inserted referenced to the clips SYNC mark (if any) or
OUT point.
NOTE: If you try to insert a clip referenced to a SYNC mark and there isn't one, it will insert
the clip referenced to its IN point
You may, of course, insert clips from other libraries and from external disks.
NOTE: Please refer to PASTE FROM LIBRARY for specific details on this as the process is
identical.
