Deleting Takes
As you screen clips, you might find that a take has been applied to the
wrong scene and should be deleted from the slate. Or, you might
decide to delete a bad take to simplify the script interface for the
editor.
c
You cannot undo the deletion of takes. To restore a take after dele-
tion, see “Adding Takes” on page 367
.
To delete one or more takes:
1. Select the takes.
2. Press the Delete key.
The Delete dialog box appears.
3. Click the Delete Takes check box, and click OK.
The takes are deleted.
Displaying Take Numbers
To display take numbers within the tab of each take, enter the numbers
in the Take column of the source bin for the clips.
