Accessing Tools

To access specific tools

1. From the Tools tab, find and click the button for the tool you want to use.
2. If needed, use the Input Mode box to select the number of source clips you want to modify (for example, front only or combinations of front, back, and matte).
3. Set any tool parameters, as needed.
4. In the workspace, select the source clip(s) needed.

   The colour and text of the cursor indicates which clip you should select next. After selecting the source clips, the cursor changes to white and the text Render Here appears.

5. Select the area to place your modified clip.

   If the result requires no other settings (other than tool parameters), then the rendered result appears immediately. If more settings are required, a full editor appears.

   Tip: Some tools, such as Paint, allow you to enter the full editor without inputs. In this case, you can double-click the tool name, and directly apply the Render Here location.

To access a tool with the same clips as previously used:

1. From the Tools tab, find and click the button for the tool you want to use.
2. Click the "S" button to the right of the tool name, or click Use Current Setup.
3. Select the area to place your modified clip.

   The result is rendered or the editor opens with the clips from the previous session. The most recent settings are also restored.
