Managing Deliverables

A Deliverable results when you create real-time settings for a clip, in the Deliverables menu. Deliverables are virtual clips associated with the original clip. You can:

• Rename or delete a Deliverable.
• Create multiple Deliverables for one clip, so that you can output many different formats of that clip.
• Save a Deliverable as a reusable Deliverable template.
• Load a Deliverable template onto another clip to apply the settings of that Deliverable to the clip.
• View information about Deliverables in the Desktop and library.
• Copy and paste deliverables between clips in the library and on the Desktop.
• Transfer clips and their Deliverables to other systems.

The following illustrates how Deliverables can be used.

In the illustration, the Deliverable for Clip A is saved as a Deliverable template. Think of this template as an independent, reusable instance of the real-time settings that were created for Clip A (like how a word-processing template stores styles and formats).

When the template is applied to Clip B, it becomes a new Deliverable for clip B. This new Deliverable has the same real-time settings as Clip A, until you start changing it. For this operation to work, Clip A and B must have the same resolution, frame rate, and aspect ratio.
