To add sub clips to an existing EDL
Sub clips can be added from the clip list display screens or
the video monitor screen. The added clips are inserted at
the end of the EDL.
Sub clips are added to the current EDL. Consequently, an
EDL must be selected as the current EDL in order to
perform this operation. An EDL is made the current EDL
automatically after it is created, as explained in "To create
an EDL" above, allowing sub clips to be added
immediately to the EDL. You can determine whether the
current EDL is selected or not by checking whether the
current EDL icon is displayed or not in the status display
area. If the current EDL is not specified, you must select an
existing EDL as the current EDL using the following
procedure before you can add sub clips.
