>> 4) select clip1 and right mouse the item.  select menu item Open EDL
>> 5) timeline changes to just the clip content.
>> 6) add a visible effect, like burning tv and press the [1] in the main menu

>> 7) timeline is restored to original media.

>>    - in the Media folder, the option to unnest the clip is now called "EDL
