Quiver items

Item types

There are 3 types of buttons in Quiver panel:

Clip	Adds one clip associated with a button.
Folder	Adds one random clip from a folder. Learn more.
Sequence	Adds group of clips from a sequence. Learn more.

Addition method

To modify add method for clips, right click on it and select a method.

Available methods and their actions are listed below:

Method	Action
Overlay	If targeted track has a clip at playhead, added clip will be added to the first empty track above.
Overwrite	Ignores any clip at playhead and overwrites it with a clip.
Insert*	Ignores any clip at playhead, inserts a clip and pushes forward all clips on a targeted track.

*Insert method is not available for MOGRT items, due to API limitation.

Target track

By default clips will be added to the bottom targeted track.

You can change it for each item and specify destination track by its name.

Creation of tracks

If a clip targets a track with a name and such track doesn't exist, track will be created.

If a clip uses "Overlay" method and a track with name is occupied, new track with incremented name will be created (e.g. "Sword 2" is occupied, "Sword 3" will be created).

Label

Change label of an item added to a timeline.

Blend mode

For video items you can customise blend mode. It is useful for overlays.

Volume

For audio items set volume when it is added to a timeline.

Duration

For still images set duration when it is added to a timeline.

Start Marker

By default clips are added at playhead at their in point.

If a clip has start marker, when added to a timeline, start marker will be aligned with playhead.

If Auto-mark audio clips is enabled, start marker will be added automatically, when audio clips are added to Quiver, at the loudest part.

In/Out points

You can set in/out point to a clip, so only part of it will be added to a timeline.
