Clip Groups

Clip groups are selections of clips that can be accessed via the Clip Groups window or by clicking any clip of a group.

A clip cannot be part of more than one group. If you add a clip to a group, it is automatically removed from any other group. You can select a specific color for a group to make it easy to discern it in the track view.

You can render all groups as individual files using the Render function of the Master Section.

• To create nested groups, drag a group into another group.
• To deactivate a group, deactivate its checkbox in the list. If a group is deactivated, you can move the individual clips.
• To rename a group, double-click its name and enter a new name.
• To select all clips of a group in your audio montage for editing, click the group.
