# Managing Clips with Clip History

When creating clips with clip history, you can keep track of the intermediates used to build the final clips.

Sources are any of the original clips that you use to build an effect, for example, clips that you captured using an EDL. Sources are outlined in green in the clip history. Intermediates are clips that are created when building a clip that uses multiple effects or operations. For instance, you may need to resize or colour correct a clip before bringing it into the Keyer. The clip you process from the Keyer is the final clip, but the clip processed from the Resize module is an intermediate. When you modify the clip from the clip history, the affected intermediate clip is updated along with any subsequent intermediates and the final clip.

There are a number of tools you can use to keep track of the sources and intermediates used. Use the Search tool to find clips with history or clips that were used to create a clip with history. Use the Delete tool to delete intermediates for a selected clip with clip history. Use the Commit tool to commit a clip with history just as you would any other clip.
