You can create groups and merge clips into a group before importing.
This allows operators to create groups of clips, name them, and then import
them without having to repeat multiple imports separately.
-
Highlight clips that you want to merge into a group.
-
Right-click and select
Add to Merge Group.
You can choose to create a new group or use existing group names
from the context menu.
If the Merge On Import option is selected in the RMI User Preferences
settings, all clips will be merged into a single clip on every import.
-
If you want to create a
new group, select
Add New Merge Group and enter the group name.
If the Automatically add keywords for merged imports option is
selected in the RMI User Preferences settings, keywords will be added
automatically to merged imports. Marker permissions must be set to Allow for keywords to be added
successfully. Without full permissions, no keywords will be added to
merged assets.
-
Click
OK.
The merge group name that you selected appears in the Merge Group property
of each clip. You can view the property in the Inspector panel.
The merge group name will become the name of the imported clip once
the import process is completed.
If you wish to remove clips from the group, right-click on those clips
and select
Remove from Merge Group.
