Clip number

Sub clips (clips in clip lists)

The specified clips (or parts of clips) in a clip list are called “sub clips.” Sub clips are virtual data specifying ranges in the original clips. Clip data in the original clips is not overwritten. For this reason, sub clips do not have clip management numbers.

Clip list editing (current clip list)

Clip lists cannot be edited on disc. To edit clip lists, you need to load them, one at a time, into the unit memory. The clip list which is currently loaded into the unit memory is called the “current clip list.”

The current clip list is always the target of sub clip creation and editing. Clip list playback also uses the current clip list.

After creating and editing a clip list, you need to save it to disc.

Clip lists

Data called a “clip list” is created when you use the scene selection function to select desired clips from the clips stored on a disc.

Clip lists have numbers beginning with E, for example E0001. Up to 99 clip lists can be saved on a disc.
