You can create a clip from an audio file, video file, or from a video deposition. Once a clip is created, it is ready to be added to a playlist or it can be added to a presentation directly. To create a clip, you use the media player and the clip creator. These tools become available whenever you select a video, audio item, synchronized transcript, or clip.
You can also create clips by selecting lines from a video deposition. For more information, see: Synchronized Transcripts.

If necessary you can precisely edit the start and stop times. For more information, see the next procedure in this topic.
| 7. | Type a name for the clip, add a description, then click Save. |
The clip is now listed in the media clip list for that media item. From here, the clip may be added to presentations directly or combined with other clips into playlists.
