This article covers features which are only available in Silverstack Lab.
With Combined Clip transcoding, Silverstack Lab can transcode multiple source clips to one single combined transcoded clip. This allows to create combined clips for complete scenes or more.
To learn more about the “standard” Individual Clips transcoding option please refer to the article Transcoding in Silverstack Lab.
Starting a Combined Clip Transcoding Job
Start the Combined Clip transcoding by clicking on the “Transcode” button in the toolbar and choose “Combined Clip (single file with multiple clips)”:

This will open the source selection step:
Please be aware that the order of clips in the source selection step reflects the order of clips in the combined transcoded clip. You can change the order by resorting the table columns.
