Right-Click Menus

Most of SequenceSuite’s quick actions live one right-click away. This page lists every context menu in the app. Right-click works with a two-finger tap, Control-click, or a mouse’s secondary button - whatever you’re used to.

If you have several rows selected, the copy commands act on the whole selection and the menu items show the count - Copy 12 Timecodes, Copy 12 Rows, and so on. Right-clicking a row outside your selection acts on just that row.

Sheet, Gather, and Dupe each end their row menus with an Across the suite section - shortcuts that jump to another mode with the answer already loaded. They’re the fastest way to move between the three tools:

You’re inActionWhat happens
SheetFind duplicates of this clipSwitches to Dupe and shows every other use of the clip.
SheetGather This Sequence’s MediaSwitches to Gather showing this sequence, ready for you to review. Your Gather Plan is left as it is, and nothing copies until you say so.
GatherShow clips using this fileSwitches to Sheet filtered to every clip cut from that file.
DupeGather all uses in this groupSwitches to Gather showing the duplicate group’s media, ready for you to review.
DupeShow this use in the cutSwitches to Sheet and highlights that use at its place in the timeline. When a group has several uses, a submenu lists each one by episode and timecode.

Some jumps are greyed out when they don’t apply - for example, Gather is unavailable for sequence types that don’t carry source paths, and AAF media is gathered only, so it has no Sheet clips to show.

Right-click the Open Files heading:

ActionWhat it does
Close All FilesCloses everything you’ve loaded. SequenceSuite confirms first when more than one file is open; files on disk are not affected.
Remove Missing FilesClears restored files that no longer exist at their saved paths. This only removes entries from the sidebar; files on disk are not affected.

Right-click any sequence in the Open Files list:

ActionWhat it does
Set as Target Episode / Clear Target EpisodeDupe mode only, at the top of the menu. Anchors Dupe’s results to this episode. Also available on a multi-track cut’s group row.
Re-parse SourceForces a fresh read of the file from disk, ignoring the parse cache.
Rename Display Name…Changes the label SequenceSuite uses for this sequence. The file on disk is never renamed.
Reset to Original NameReturns to the imported name (shown only after a rename).
Edit Episode Code…Overrides the short code (EP101, S01E02) used in Dupe pips and PDF exports.
Reset Episode CodeReturns to the auto-derived code (shown only after an edit).
Remove from this cutFor an EDL inside a multi-track cut - takes just this EDL out of the group.
Group selected EDLs as one multi-track cut…Sheet mode, ungrouped EDLs only - combines a V1/V2/V3-style set into one cut.
Link Playout… / Change Playout…Points this sequence at a flat playout (viewing copy) for its export thumbnails, or swaps the one already linked. Also on a multi-track cut’s group row, where it links one playout for the whole cut. See Thumbnails.
Clear Linked PlayoutForgets the linked playout (shown only after one is set).
Close Other FilesKeeps this sequence, file, or multi-track cut open and closes everything else.
Remove from Open FilesDrops the sequence from the app. Also available as the hover ✕ button, or ⌘⌫ with the row selected. This menu item works even while a file is stuck mid-load.

File and cut-group rows have the same menu with Close Other Files plus Remove File from Open Files or Remove Cut from Open Files to drop everything from that source at once.
