Creating Clips in the Web Player


To start creating a clip in the web player, hit Z or click the clip0009 button.

Note: Clipping icons do not appear when playing back in fullscreen mode. Keyboard shortcuts for clipping are still functional.

 

A marker will appear in the timeline at the current time, as shown above. This marks the beginning of the clip.

 

Now, hit X or click the clip0010  button to set the end of the clip.

 

To jump to the start or end point you've set, click on the   and  buttons, or use the V and B keys.

To loop playback between the endpoints you've set, click the   button.

To add this segment of the recording to a Playlist without creating a clip, click the   button.

To change the start or end point of a clip, you can simply set new ones, or  drag the endpoints to a new location on the timeline using the mouse.

You can also zoom in on the timeline using the   button. See Using the zoomable trackbar for more information. 

When you're satisfied with the endpoints you've selected, hit C or click the clip0011 button.

  


A new dialog box will appear with options for the clip.

 


You'll be prompted to enter a name for the clip, and to select a destination folder.

clip0399

 The folder that you selected the last time you created a clip will be your default folder. You can also enter any tags that you would like to be added to the clip. (For information on recording folders, see Folder Manager)

 

You can take action on a clip immediately after it's created by selecting one of the Clip And options.

 

The following actions are available:

 

After you click Clip, your system will create the clip and save it to the folder you've selected. A popup will appear showing the progress of the clip:

If you selected any processing options, or your system is configured to run a Workflow that is triggered by clips, you may also see a pop-up for the resulting task, as shown here:

clip0067

For more on the Clip progress pop-up, see Task Pop-ups. You can also check the status of the clipping operation on the Tasks page.
