# Compound Clip Media

## Compound Clip Media

Compound Clip Media Group combination of clips as a unit.

Overview

A compound clip media is a clip you construct out of audio or video clip components, and which you can reference as a unit. Use the `sequence` element to describe its top-level sequence.

The code example below shows a compound clip definition with two clips laid down in series inside a `spine` element and then under a `sequence` element:

```swift <resources>    <media id="r1" name="MyCompoundClip">       <sequence format="r2">          <spine>             <asset-clip name="MyMovie1" offset="0s" ref="r3" duration="10s" audioRole="dialogue" />             <asset-clip name="MyMovie2" offset="0s" ref="r4" duration="20s" audioRole="dialogue" />          </spine>       </sequence>    </media>    <format id="r2" name="FFVideoFormat1080p30" />    <asset id="r3" name="MyMovie1" src="file:///Volumes/Media/MyMovie1.mov" start="0s" duration="10s" hasVideo="1" format="r2" hasAudio="1" audioSources="1" audioChannels="2" audioRate="48000" />    <asset id="r4" name="MyMovie2" src="file:///Volumes/Media/MyMovie2.mov" start="0s" duration="20s" hasVideo="1" format="r2" hasAudio="1" audioSources="1" audioChannels="2" audioRate="48000" /> </resources>
