Making a clip

Role required: Customer Admin, Channel Admin or Pro. See Video user roles.

A clip is a user-selected segment of a media file. Make clips from full length video and audio files, and add images, to create a showreel. For additional information, see Showreels.

Making a clip has no impact on the original media file. Determine which clips are in a showreel at the time of clip creation. Clips cannot be moved from one showreel to another.
