COPYING CLIPS BETWEEN LIBRARIES

You can copy clips to other libraries. This may be useful in the case where you use a
library called, for example, MISC as a kind of dumping ground for clips that you copy from
projects and then wish to organise later. To copy or move a clip, first select the clip you
wish to copy using the cursor keys. When the cursor is highlighting the clip you wish to
copy, press F5 - UTILS. You will receive this screen:
To copy a file, press F5. The EXECUTE key will start flashing and you will receive this
screen:
Press the flashing EXECUTE key to copy the clip (or EXIT to abort the copy). You will be
returned to the original library you were in and you will receive the following pop-up prompt
to indicate the file has been successfully copied:
You may repeat the process. The way the copying works is that after you have copied a
clip to another library once, when you use copy again, the DD1500 automatically selects
that library next time you copy a clip and then returns you back to your original library after
the copy has been done. In this way, you can copy clips from one library to another very
quickly. For example, if you have some jingles in a library called MUSIC you wish to copy
to another new library called JINGLES, first, create a new library and call it JINGLES in the
main DIRECTORY page. Now open the MUSIC library, select the first clip you want to
copy, F5 (UTILS) F5 (COPY) and select the JINGLES library followed by EXECUTE. You
will be returned to the MUSIC library, select the next jingle, press UTILS, COPY,
EXECUTE. Select the next jingle and press UTILS, COPY, EXECUTE. And so on...
