Editing with Imported Master Clips
When an imported clip does not include an alpha channel for keying the graphic over video, its icon is the standard master clip icon. This is true for both single-image graphics and animation sequences. You can edit this type of clip into a sequence as an opaque image or animation (in other words, as a single layer) using basic editing techniques described in this section.
