What’s New
A merged clip’s video track and source audio channels can be mapped to targeted tracks in the
timeline, which makes assembling sequences easier, faster, and more efficient. Multiple track
targeting helps support keyboard-driven Insert/Overwrite (previously called Overlay) editing,
which is faster than dragging and dropping clips into the timeline.

To streamline project management, the original master component clips can be deleted from the
project, leaving only the merged clips. For added flexibility, you can define separate In and Out
points for the audio and video portions of merged clips. When you do so, a single audio In point
applies to all of the component audio clips.

Additionally, merged clips can be exported as Extensible Markup Language (XML) files that can be
imported into Apple Final Cut Pro or as Advanced Authoring Format (AAF) files for exchange with
Avid NLEs such as Media Composer.

The Metadata panel displays vital information about each of the component (source) clips that the
merged clip is based on, so each clip’s metadata can be viewed individually. Alternately, a pull-
down menu lets you choose to look at metadata for all of the component files simultaneously.
