Deal is a one-to-many process by which frames are dealt like cards to any number of “hands”. Each hand is a separate clip.
For example, a 9-frame clip dealt to 3 separate clips results in:
- One result clip made from frames 1, 4, and 7
- One result clip made from frames 2, 5, and 8
- One result clip made from frames 3, 6, and 9
To deal clips:
- In the Format menu, click Deal.
The Clips field appears.
- Enter a value in the Clips field to set the number of clips into which the frames of the source clip are dealt.
- Select the clip that you want to deal.
- Select a destination reel.
After a short time, the dealt clips appear.
