Abort
Aborts a load in process. You must re-browse after an abort. You cannot
change parameters and then click Load again.
The procedure to import a file differs slightly depending on the source. The following are possible
scenarios.
Auto Load a sequence of files from an external source
When ClearView sees .TXT, it knows that this is a tab-delimitated file which tells it to load many video
sequences. Otherwise, it tries to figure out what type of video sequence is in the file. In this case the user
is batch loading many video clips. The video clips may be stored in one or many directories, and this one
file will go out and bring them all into ClearView. Each video clip might be MPEG, BMP, RAW, etc.
Note: There are many examples under www.videoclarity.com/Support (Miscellaneous Support Files).
The fields in the .TXT file are as follows.
