Clip lists
You can use the scene selection function to select clips from the clips saved on a disc and create a cut edit list called a “clip list”.
Clip lists have numbers beginning with E, for example E0001. Up to 99 clip lists can be saved on a disc.
Sub clips (clips in clip lists)
Clips (or parts of clips) that have been added to a clip list are called “sub clips”. Sub clips are virtual editing data that specify ranges in the original clips. You can use them without modifying the original data.
The following figure illustrates the relation between clips and sub clips.

In the above example, the whole of clip 2 has been added as sub clip 1, and the whole of clip 4 has been added as sub clip 2.
Sub clip 3 is part of clip 3. Therefore, when clip list E0001 is played back, clip 4 is played after clip 2, and then the part of clip 3 shown in gray color is played.
Clip list editing (current clip list)
To edit a clip list, you need to load the clip list from the disc into the unit's internal 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 list playback
Clips and clip lists are saved together on a disc. To play a clip list, insert a disc into the unit, load the clip list that you want to play, and press the PLAY/PAUSE button.
Clips are played according to the data in the clip list.
Creating and editing clip listsThe following table lists the steps in the creation and editing of clip lists with the scene selection function. To create a clip list, you always need to carry out the steps inside the heavy lines. Other steps can be carried out as required.
