Adding Clips to the Process Tree

Even though ConnectFX 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 ConnectFX schematic.

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

   TipYou can also drag clips directly into the CFX Sources folder (you don't even have to be in ConnectFX 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 ConnectFX 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 ConnectFX schematic.
2. Release the clip on top of an existing schematic clip, once you see a replace icon.

   The clip is replaced.

   TipIf the clip proxy is black after replacing, right-click the clip and select Reset to reset the timing offset of the clip.
