# Description

Handle the newVideoclip message if you want to create additional objects, switch tools, or do other tasks when a new videoclip is created.

Normally, the newVideoclip message is handled at a higher level of the message path, since the newly created videoclip does not yet have a script unless the templateVideoclip contains one.

The actual creation is not triggered by the newVideoclip message, so trap the message and not allowing it to pass does not prevent the videoclip from being created.
