# Adding Clips to an Empty Record Area

You can add as many clips to the Record Area as you need. You can then select any clip and edit its timeline as well as switch between timelines to work on multiple versions of clips. When the Record Area is empty, you are automatically in Storyboard view.

To copy a source clip to an empty Record Area:

1. Do one of the following from Storyboard view:
   - F-drag a source clip from the Source Area, the standard Player, or the Src/Rec Player to the Record Area.
   - Select a source clip and press G.
   - Select a source clip from the Source History box in the Src/Rec Player and click Insert.
   - Load a source clip from a clip library. See Loading Clips to the EditDesk.
2. Add subsequent clips. If you use the G hotkey and want to build a new edit sequence, make sure you first drag the clip in Storyboard view to the right until the Record Viewer is no longer displayed. Otherwise, the clip will be added to the timeline of the current clip.
