How to use the Media Clips Organiser

Watch video tutorial on YouTube.

Media Clips can be created and edited from the Media Clips Organiser panel.

A key feature of the Media Clips Organiser is the ability to create Tiers to which Media Clips can be assigned. This feature allows users to create colour-coded channels to better visualise individual clips in the Timeline. Note that these have nothing to do with Transcripts and are not a form of score-based transcription (such as found in ELAN).

Organising Media Clips

• Any number of Tiers can be created (Name and Colour).
• Use the Settings in the Media Clips Organiser to adjust the colour and order of the Tiers.
• Media Clips can be assigned to any Tier.
• Clips can be moved between Tiers using the Tier Mode.
• Clips can be locked using the Tier Mode to avoid accidental movement or adjustment.
• Clips can be adjusted in length using the Adjust boundaries Tier Mode.
• Clip details (Tag, UDF) can be shown in Clip objects in all Tiers.

The Tier Mode has three states:

1. Lock Tiers and Clips
2. Enable moving Clips between Tiers
3. Enable dragging Clips along a Tier

Also a naming filter can be applied that shows:

• List of assigned Tags
• User-defined Name field

Note that Media Clips cannot be created, viewed or edited in DOTE, unlike Transcript Clips.
