The Pool
Operations
Using drag and drop
When using drag and drop to insert clips into the Project window, please note the
following:
• Snap is taken into account if activated.
• While you drag the clip in the Project window, its position is indicated by a marker
line and a numerical position box.
Note that these indicate the position of the snap point in the clip. For example, if
you drop the clip at the position 10.00, this will be where the snap point ends up.
See
“Adjusting the snap point” on page 334 for information on how to set the snap
point.
• If you position the clip in an empty area in the event display (i. e. below existing
tracks), a new track is created for the inserted event.
Deleting clips
Removing clips from the Pool
To remove a clip from the Pool without deleting it from the hard disk, proceed as
follows:
1. Select the clip(s) and select “Delete” from the Edit menu (or press [Backspace] or
[Delete]).
A prompt asks whether you want to move the clip to the Trash or remove it from
the Pool.
• If you try to delete a clip that is used by one or more events, the program will ask
you whether to remove these events from the project.
If you cancel, neither the clip nor the associated events are deleted.
2. In the window that opens, select “Remove from Pool”.
The clip is no longer associated with the project, but still exists on the hard disk
and can be used in other projects, etc. This operation can be undone.
Deleting from the hard disk
To delete a file permanently from the hard disk, it must first be moved to the Trash
folder:
1. Follow the instructions for deleting clips above, but click the Trash button instead
of the Remove from Pool button.
Alternatively, you can drag and drop clips into the Trash folder.
2. On the Media menu, select “Empty Trash”.
A warning message is displayed.
3. Click “Erase” to delete the file on the hard disk permanently.
This operation cannot be undone!
Ö To retrieve a clip or region from the Trash folder, drag it back into an Audio or Video
folder.
