Place a clip in a slot

You can place one clip in each slot in your list. A slot’s name describes which section of the video that clip will fill.

Select a clip from your library that you want to use.
In the shot list, click the slot that the clip belongs in.
Check the image, file name, and duration shown in the slot.

If you like, you can drag a clip directly from its card and drop it onto the slot.

When you hover over a slot, you’ll see a short instruction:

Empty slot: Click: put {ad} here; the selected clip’s frame appears dim, and it may say {ad} → here.
Filled slot: Click: replace with {ad}.
No clip selected: Select a clip first or drag one here.
A tip appears once on the first empty slot, explaining that you can drag a clip from the library or select it first and then click the slot.

How much of the list is ready? The heading shows the filled / total count. The duration beside it is the sum of the full durations of the clips you’ve placed. For example, 3/5 · 1:24 means you’ve placed clips in three of five sections and their total duration is 1 minute 24 seconds. This isn’t the duration of the finished video or of your selected scenes.

Each slot also has a progress line. If the list is incomplete, you’ll see N scenes missing; when it’s complete, you’ll see List complete.

Number on a clip card: A clip in the active shot list has a small number on its card showing its position in the video. Hover over it to see the Scene N in the shot list tooltip. This number remains visible for the active list even when you close the list window.

Your folders and culling decisions stay as they are. Adding a clip to a shot list doesn’t remove it from its current folder. You can use a clip that doesn’t have a culling decision yet. However, rejected clips can’t be added to a list.

Numbers on the slots show the story order. The 1–9 keys on your keyboard remain folder shortcuts; they don’t select shot list slots.

You can’t add the same clip to two different slots in one list. You can use it in different shot lists. If you remove a clip from the library, its slot in the list becomes empty but the slot itself remains.
