Hi,

Is this database in Mulitgen format ? and if so, which loader are you
using ?

I believe, the loader would create a clipcenter and attach a PreApp
callback to the Channel which will automatically adjust the clipcenter
for you following a generic centering algorithm.

I assume we could simply attach our own centering algorithm to do this.
Marcus, is my inderstanding correct ?
