Compound Clip: Reference New Parent Clip is disabled
I have a custom lower third implemented as a compound clip. I need two of these in my project, so in the Browser I duplicate the original one. I know that both now refer to the same parent clip, so changing the text on either will change it in both.
To overcome this, I select the second one (the duplicate) in the Browser or the Timeline. I then want to select Clip > Reference New Parent Clip, but that choice is disabled in the Clip menu. Why? How do I “divorce” the duplicate from the original, so that I can change them independently?
I’d appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks!
