sample vs clip? - backslash-enn - 2024-03-26
When creating a library, you can add extras. But the documentation im looking at (the movie library docs and shows library docs) dont specify what the difference is between a "sample" extra and a "clip" extra. They sound pretty similar to me, and an internet search hasn't given me any answers either. Also, I noticed in the movie docs that you can add a simple file called "sample.*" to add a single sample, which is a convenience feature I really like, but you can't do with clips (you have to add them a different way). But in the show docs it says you can add a clip by adding a file called "*-clip.*", but you can't do that with samples. I find this inconsistency curious. Anyways I'm probably overthinking this, but it would be nice to see the difference documented somewhere.
