Deleting Clips

You can delete clips while checking their contents.

Notes

Clips cannot be deleted when the Write Inhibit tab of the disc is set to the recording disabled position.

Locked clips cannot be deleted.

If the deletion target clip is referenced by clip lists on the disc, all of those clip lists are deleted as well.

If the deletion target clip is referenced in the current clip list, all of the referenced sub clips, and only those sub clips, are deleted at the same time as the deletion target clip.
