Large clips are handled on your machine before anything is sent.

01Compression

A clip between 10 MB and 200 MB is compressed in your browser. Nothing leaves your machine until it fits. The original on your disk is untouched.

Compression happens on your machine before anything is sent.

02Splitting into shots

A long clip can be split at its cuts and each shot kept as its own asset. That is usually what you want from a reference: the shot, not the reel.

03Poster frames

A clip's grid preview is a frame taken from about a tenth of the way in, which avoids the black at the head. You can re-derive it from the inspector's More actions menu at any time.
