Open or clear a clip in the Source Monitor

To view and edit source clips listed in the Project panel or individual clip instances in a sequence, open the clips in the Source Monitor. The Source menu, accessed from the Source Monitor tab, lists open clips.

  1. To open a clip, do any of the following:

    • Double‑click the clip in the Project or Timeline panel, or drag a clip from the Project panel to the Source Monitor. The clip appears in the Source Monitor and its name is added to the Source menu.

    • Drag multiple clips or an entire bin from the Project panel into the Source Monitor, or select multiple clips in the Project panel and double‑click them. Clips are added to the Source menu in the order in which they were selected, and the last clip selected appears in the Source Monitor.

    • Choose the name of the clip you want to see from the Source menu (click the triangle to the left of the current clip’s name on the Source tab to make the menu appear).

      The Source menu lists master clips by name. Clips opened from a sequence are listed by their sequence name, clip name, and starting time in the sequence.
