Adding Clips

To add clips to your project use these methods:

•

Drag a clip from the media library directly onto the canvas. This allows you to locate the media’s frame spatially on the canvas. The clip is automatically placed in a new, top track on the timeline at the point of the scrubber. If this clip is a display recording and the canvas is the same size, you can just drag it onto the timeline—the clip is automatically positioned to fill the canvas correctly.

•	Drag a clip from the media library directly onto the timeline. This allows you to place the clip on the track(s) you want, and at the location on the timeline you want. You can select one or more clips using lasso selection—click and drag across some portion of each clip to select it.

•	Double-click a clip in the media library to add it to the timeline at the point of the scrubber.

•	Drag a clip from the file system (Desktop or Finder window) directly onto the timeline. This allows you to place the clip on the track you want, at the point on the timeline you want. The clip is automatically added to the media library.

Note: You can also copy and paste clips in the same project, and you can copy and paste clips between open ScreenFlow document windows.

The default name of a clip is obtained from the media file it references. To change the name of a clip, double-click on the text or click the gear icon on the clip, and select Rename Clip. The new name does not change the name of the source file.
