Adding Clips to the Process Tree

The quickest way to add clips to your Batch process tree is through the Workspace Media panel. Even though Batch FX process trees are pre-populated with clips from the timeline, you can also add more clips from the Workspace Media panel.

Another way to add clips is through the Read File node.

To add clips from the Workspace Media panel:

1. Select one or more clips from the Workspace Media panel.
2. Drag the clips into the Batch or Batch FX schematic.

   The clips are now available to use in the process tree. Notice that the clips are also displayed in the Media panel's Batch or BFX Sources folder.

   TipYou can also drag clips directly into the Batch or BFX Sources folder (you don't even have to be in Batch or Batch FX to do this). Any clips in the Sources folder can be seen in the schematic (with the exception of Read File clip nodes).

Once a clip is present in the Batch or Batch FX schematic, you can connect its output tab to other nodes in the same manner as connecting nodes to nodes. The same clip can be connected to multiple nodes in the process tree.

To replace a clip:

1. Drag a clip from the Workspace Media panel into the Batch or Batch FX schematic.
2. Release the clip on top of an existing schematic clip, once you see a replace icon.

   The clip is replaced.
