Using a Shotlist as a Source
 
You can open a shotlist in Source mode and use it as source footage for a sequence that is loaded in Record mode. You can use a shotlist as a source for all sequence types.
When you load the sequence in Source mode, editing controls such as Mark In and Mark Out are available through buttons and keyboard shortcuts.
You can perform an insert edit or an overwrite edit. Replace editing is supported only when using a shotlist as a source for a shotlist.
Note the following:
If your source edit includes more than one segment, all segments are added individually to the timeline.
A sequence cannot be added to itself. If you load a shotlist in Record mode, and you open the same sequence in Source mode, the sequence will be loaded in Source mode, but there will be no timeline in the Sequence Timeline area.
You can use an Asset Management shotlist as a source, but if you want to edit material into another sequence — the two sequence must be of the same type. For example if you load an audio-only sequence in the Record Monitor, you can use only another audio-only sequence as a source.
The following apply to MediaCentral Production Management material only:
Restrictions in the source sequence are copied to the output sequence.
Markers that exist on the source sequence are copied to the output sequence only if they apply to the sequence itself (not to the clips that make up the sequence).
A group clip in the source sequence is copied as a group clip to the output sequence (shotlist only). The active angle and the audio mapping are preserved.
News sequences do not support group clips. The active angle of a group clip in the source sequence is copied to the news sequence as a master clip.
To edit material from a shotlist:
1. Locate the shotlist through the Browse app or the Search app, then do one of the following:
*Drag the shotlist to the Media Viewer (Source mode).
*Hold down the Control key (Windows) or the Command key (macOS) and double-click the shotlist.
The shotlist opens in Source mode in the Asset Editor.
2. Use the editing tools (Mark In, Mark Out, and so on) to edit the material you want into a loaded sequence.
*You can load a news sequence in Source mode, but you cannot edit it into a sequence. If you try to drag it to the Sequence Timeline, the following message is displayed: “Incompatible source for this edit.”
