Displaying Clips in the Clip List

The Clip List can show all clip types (audio, MIDI, video, Groups, Auto-Created), or only certain clip types. This is useful for isolating the type of clips you want to work with while editing and arranging. For example, when arranging clip groups, you may want the Clip List to show only clip groups.

To show or hide certain types of clips in the Clip List:

Click the Clip List menu (at the top of the Clip List) and choose Show. From the submenu, select or deselect the clip type you want to show or hide.

Audio

Shows or hides audio clips in the Clip List.

MIDI

Shows or hides MIDI clips in the Clip List.

Video

Shows or hides video clips in the Clip List.

Groups

Shows or hides clip groups in the Clip List.

Auto-Created

Shows or hides automatically-created clips (of all types) in the Clip List. These are clips that were created as a by-product of cutting, pasting, and separating other clips. Since these auto-created clips can become numerous, hiding them (by deselecting the option) helps you to avoid scrolling through an unnecessarily long Clip List.

Hiding Auto-Created clips can be useful when importing clip groups (or REX files as clip groups), because these file types can contain so many separate clips that it becomes difficult to read the Clip List.

In the Clip List, whole-file audio clips are displayed in bold, and stereo and multichannel audio clips can be expanded to display individual channels.

If the Clip List Selection Follows Edit Selection option is enabled in the Editing preferences, selecting a clip or clip group in the Clip List selects it on any track where it is present in assigned playlists. Likewise, selecting a clip or clip group on a track selects it in the Clip List.
