Reject a clip you won’t use

1. Select the clip you won’t use.
2. Press R.
3. The clip moves to the Rejected group; while culling, you continue with the next video.

You can make the same decision by choosing Reject from the right-click menu, clicking the reject button in the bottom bar, or dropping the card onto the Rejected count.

Rejecting a clip doesn’t delete the video from disk. It only changes its status in Merceq. You can return to the Rejected group later and change your decision.

Rejecting and removing from the library are different actions. A clip you reject stays in Rejected. To remove a clip completely from your Merceq library, use the right-click menu or choose Clip → Remove from Library. This doesn’t delete the source file either; you can undo it with ⌘Z (see Section 17 for details).
