Material recorded with this unit is managed in units called “clips”. A clip contains the material between a recording start point and a recording end point.
Clips have numbers beginning with C, for example C0001.

Clip number
Instead of using clip numbers, you can manage clips by assigning clip titles or names. For details, see “To assign
You can use the scene selection function to select desired 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.

Thumbnails of selected clip list
The specified clips (or parts of clips) in a clip list are called “sub clips”. Sub clips are virtual edit lists specifying ranges in the original clips. Clip data in the original clips is not overwritten.
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 internal 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.
