selected clips and sequences to the new master clips.

Sequence and Clip Information Summary
You can generate a report to display information about the contents of a sequence. For example,
you can generate a list of the types of effects in your sequence or the location of a particular
effect. You can also create a clip summary or a source summary. This allows you to display a list
of clip names, tape names, offline clips, and path locations of imported clips contained in your
selection.
You generate reports from the Sequence Report dialog box, which you can access from the
Source monitor, the Record monitor, or directly from a sequence in a bin. The Sequence Report
dialog box allows you to select your criteria and create a report that displays in a text editor. You
can then search the summary for the exact information you want.
Example 1: Preparing for Online Editing
When you move your sequence from an offline system to an online system, you can run an effect
summary and a source summary report. The Effect Summary displays a list of all effects,
including a separate list of plug-ins used. The Source Summary lists all the tapes you need for
recapture and all of the import paths for imported graphics.
Example 2: Finding Specific Effects
You use the Effect Summary and Effect Location List to find a particular effect. When you
output the summary to a text editor, you can search the report to find all occurrences of the
particular effect. In addition, you can type the start or end timecode value for each occurrence
into the Source/Record monitor to go to the start of the effect in the Timeline. You might find this
useful when you need to replace or modify a specific plug-in, for example.
Example 3: Plug-in Information
An Effect Summary displays a list of effects found in the selection, including how many times
the sequence uses an effect. For plug-ins loaded on your system, a section displays a summary of
the plug-ins used, displaying the name, the vendor, the version and the ID of the plug-in. This
can help by providing a list of the plug-ins needed for online work.
