After you patch tracks, it is helpful to display the destination track of the clips in the Timeline.
Select Clip Text > Clip Tracks from the Timeline Fast menu to display the destination track.
To undo a patch:
1. Click in the Record monitor or Timeline.
2. Select Special > Restore Default Patch, or manually repatch to the previous track.
The selected source track moves beside the record track to which it is patched as soon as you
draw the arrow and release the mouse. The patched track remains highlighted in preparation
for your edit. You can proceed to select any other tracks required for the edit.
After you make the edit, you can continue to work on the same track or patch to a different
track as necessary.
Performing an Alternate Edit
Using Alternate Edit mode allows you to overwrite a selected clip in a sequence with several
clips located in a special bin called Alternate Edits. To do this, you place the position indicator
on a clip in the Timeline and click the Alternate Edit button. Each Alternate Edit replaces the clip
where the position indicator is located with a clip from the Alternate Edits bin.
The order in which the clips appear in the Alternate Edits bin is the same order used for the
overwrites in the sequence. If the clip you want to replace in the sequence is also in the Alternate
Edits bin, then the selection defaults to the next clip in the bin.
n
Check the duration of the clip in the sequence. The clips or subclips in the Alternate Edits bin
must be as long or longer than the clip in the sequence you want to replace.
To perform an alternate edit:
1. Load a sequence in the Timeline.
2. Create a bin called Alternate Edits.
3. Place clips or subclips in the Alternate Edits bin you want for your sequence.
