Enabling and disabling clips

Disabled clips do not appear in the Monitor Program view and will not appear in a preview or video file that you export. You can disable clips in the Timeline. This is useful if you want to suppress clips while you try out a different editing idea, to shorten processing time when working on a complex project, or to exclude a clip from an EDL you export. If you have not locked a disabled clip, you can still make changes to it. If you want to disable all clips on the same track, exclude the entire track instead; see Customizing track views.

To enable or disable a clip:

Select one or more clips in the Timeline, and choose Clip > Enable Clip on Timeline. A check mark next to the command indicates that the selected clip is enabled. Disabled clips are marked by a hatch pattern of backslashes.
