Duel and duplicate comparison
Start a comparison
| Situation | What does V do? |
|---|---|
| Two clips are selected | Opens Duel. |
| Three or more clips are selected | Opens duplicate comparison. |
| There’s a Duel candidate | Makes the clip under the pointer the opponent and opens Duel. |
| The clip under the pointer has a duplicate | Opens duplicate comparison directly. |
| None of these | Makes the clip a Duel candidate. |
With one clip: press V, go to the other clip, then compare with Enter or V. The same flow works in preview. Press Esc to discard the candidate.
The duplicate badge on cards isn’t clickable. Use V to compare duplicates.

If you reached a button with Tab, Enter activates that button; it doesn’t make a decision.
If you made the wrong decision, use ⌘Z.
