# Clip History Workflow

The following table shows the recommended workflow for working with clips that you may need to modify using clip history on the EditDesk.

Step: | Refer to:
--- | ---
1. Set a clip history preference. | Default Processing Options.
2. Apply effects to a clip using the effects modules from the EditDesk. | Accessing Modules.
3. At any time, view and modify the clip via the clip history. | Modifying and Displaying Clip History.
4. Apply soft effects to clips on the timeline. Applying soft effects should be the last step in your workflow if you want to continue modifying the clip history. If you process a clip in a module after a soft effect has been added to the clip history, you can no longer modify the preceding clip history. | About Soft Effects.
