Connecting Clips Using the Detail View Window In the Detail View window, you can tell whether a database record is connected to a clip by looking at the button below the clip poster frame. The Open Clip button replaces the Connect Clip button if a clip is already connected to the record. If the button is labeled Open Clip, the current database record has a clip connected to it. If the button is labeled Connect Clip, there is no clip connected to the database record. To use the Detail View window to connect a clip to a database record 1 Open the database record in the Detail View window. See Finding and Opening Database Records for details. 2 Click the Connect Clip button. Note: If the button is labeled Open Clip, the database record already has a clip connected to it. If you want to connect a different clip to the record, you need to disconnect the current clip first. 3 In the dialog that appears, select a clip to connect to the current database record. When you select the clip, three things happen: • The clip is connected to the database. • A poster frame of the first frame of the clip appears in the Detail View window, and above the poster frame you see the name of the clip. The name of the clip appears above the clip poster frame. Tip: Additionally, placing the pointer over the thumbnail display shows a tooltip with the clip's location. This can be especially useful if the clip is missing because it lets you know where Cinema Tools thinks the clip should be. • A Clip window opens for the clip. If you want a different frame to represent the clip in the database, go to that frame, then click the Set Poster Frame button. See Choosing a Different Poster Frame for a Clip and Settings in the Clip Window for more information. 118 Chapter 7 Capturing Source Clips and Connecting Them to the Database
