Input Panel

The clip bin. Drag files in, or use File → Add Clips…, to import. Selecting a clip here loads it into the Viewer and the Colour Panel.

View modes

Three ways to browse the bin, switched via the buttons above the list:

  • List — single-line rows, no thumbnail. Fastest scan for a large bin.
  • Detail — two-line rows with a thumbnail. Default view.
  • Column — a sortable table; click a column header to sort by it.

List and Detail share a dropdown sort (Name, Frames, FPS, Resolution, ascending/descending); Column view sorts natively through its own headers.

Ready checkbox & rendering

Each clip has a checkbox marking it ready — the one selection that determines what gets rendered everywhere in the app: the panel's own Render button, the toolbar's Render button, and the Output Panel's own Render button all target whichever clips are checked here, using Output Panel's current export settings.

  • Click a checkbox to toggle that one clip.
  • Shift-click a checkbox to apply that new state to every clip between it and the last checkbox you clicked (the same range-select behaviour as native list selection), regardless of which view mode you're in.

This button was labeled Add to Queue until 2026-08-17 — there's no separate queueing step anymore; clicking it renders the checked clips directly. See Output Panel → Render, progress, and cancel for what happens next.

Reference clip

A gold ★ badge on a clip's thumbnail marks it as the project's reference clip. This badge is display-only in this panel — set or clear the reference, and run an actual colour match, from the Color Match Panel (Ctrl+Alt+C), which is now the one place that whole workflow lives. A clip that's had a match applied to it shows the same badge Auto Normalize uses, to indicate "colour was propagated from elsewhere, not entirely hand-graded."
