Working With Clip Format and Import Options on the Timeline

You can access format and import settings of an imported clip directly on the timeline. In the Editing panel, these options are represented in the Timeline FX pipeline, prior to the application of any Timeline FX. These options can be edited for the selected clip, and copied and pasted to other segments that use the same clip format.

For example, after importing R3D footage and adding it to the timeline, you can edit the colour curves of a clip in the Timeline FX pipeline, and also copy the option from the Timeline FX pipeline directly to other R3D clips that are used in the same timeline.

To access the Format and Pre-processing Options Editor:

1. Click the Timeline tab.
2. Select the clip in the timeline to display its Timeline FX pipeline.
3. Do one of the following:
   Note: Format and import options are accessible in the same editor. You can open the editor once, then switch between menus in the editor to edit different option types.
   • Select the Format Options button in the Timeline FX pipeline, and click Editor in the quick menu.

     The Basic menu opens. Format options will be saved to this menu.

   • Select the Pre-Processing button in the Timeline FX pipeline, and click Editor in the quick menu.

     The Resize menu opens. Import options will be saved to this menu and the RGB LUT menu.

To copy format and import options to another segment on the timeline:

1. Select the clip you wish to copy in the timeline.
2. In the Timeline FX pipeline, do one of the following:
   • To copy basic clip format settings, Click and drag the Format Options button to another segment on the timeline.
   • To copy resize and RGB LUT settings, click and drag the Pre-processing button to another segment on the timeline.
