Temporarily Disabling a Single Clip
If, instead of disabling an entire track, you only want to disable a single clip temporarily,
you can do so. While a single clip is disabled, it will not be:
 Played back
 Rendered
 Output to tape with the rest of the sequence
To disable one or more clips:
1
Select the clip or clips using one of the selection tools.
2
Do one of the following:
 Choose Modify > Clip Enable, so the menu item is no longer selected.
 Control-click one of the selected clips, then choose Clip Enable from the shortcut menu.
A disabled clip is dimmed in the Timeline, and its Clip Enable menu item is deselected.
To selectively disable a clip’s audio or video tracks:
1
Do one of the following:
 Turn off linked selection, then select one or more audio or video items in the
Timeline using one of the selection tools.
 If linked selection is on, hold down the Option key to turn it off temporarily, then
select one or more audio or video items using one of the selection tools.
For more information about linked selection, see Volume II, Chapter 14, “Linking and
Editing Video and Audio in Sync.”
2
Do one of the following:
 Choose Modify > Clip Enable, so the menu item is no longer selected.
 Control-click one of the selected clips, then choose Clip Enable from the shortcut menu.
Individually disabled audio or video items also appear dimmed in the Timeline,
although their corresponding linked items are not dimmed.
