Scene Selection (Clip
List Editing)

What is scene selection?

Scene selection is a function which allows you to
select material (clips) from the material recorded
on a disc and perform cut editing. You can do this
by operating on this unit only.
• Scene selection is a convenient way to perform
cut editing in the field and in other offline
situations.
• In scene selection you create a clip list (editing
data). Since the material itself is not affected,
you can repeat this any number of times.
• You can play back the edit list created by scene
selection on this unit.
• In scene selection you can add whole clips or
add parts of a clip. You can add scenes using
chapters, change the playback sequence, and
amend or delete In and Out points. All of these
operations can be carried out easily on this unit.
• Clip lists (editing data) created with the scene
selection function can be used on XPRI and
other full-feature nonlinear editing systems.
Clips
Material recorded with this unit is managed in
units called clips. A clip contains the material
from a recording start point to a recording end
point.
Clips have numbers beginning with C, for
example C0001.

You can also assign titles to your clips and use the
titles to manage them, instead of the clip numbers.

For more information, see "Assigning user-defined
clip titles automatically" (page 76).
Clip lists
You can use the scene selection function to select
clips from the clips saved on a disc and create a
cut edit list called a "clip list".
Clip lists have numbers beginning with E, for
example E0001. Up to 99 clip lists can be saved
on a disc.
Sub clips (clips in clip lists)
Clips (or parts of clips) that have been added to a
clip list are called "sub clips". Sub clips are
virtual editing data that specify ranges in the
original clips. You can use them without
modifying the original data.
The following figure illustrates the relation
between clips and sub clips.
Clips on disc
Clip 1 Clip 2

Clip list
(E0001) Sub clip 1 Sub clip 2 Sub clip 3
In the above example, the whole of clip 2 has been
added as sub clip 1, and the whole of clip 4 has
been added as sub clip 2.
Sub clip 3 is part of clip 3. Therefore, when clip
list E0001 is played back, clip 4 is played after
clip 2, and then the part of clip 3 shown in gray
color is played.
Clip list editing (current clip list)
To edit a clip list, you need to load the clip list
from the disc into the unit's internal memory.
The clip list which is currently loaded into the
unit memory is called the "current clip list."
The current clip list is always the target of sub clip
creation and editing. Clip list playback also uses
the current clip list.
After creating and editing a clip list, you need to
save it to disc.
