# Assigning clips to laser zones

<figure><img src="https://1813304336-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FMdbbIbIwHdJwkEREnJyv%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4714ea45aea68e6217b1fdcde8c0838c5a6d4361%2Fclips-zones?alt=media" alt=""><figcaption><p>The zone buttons at the top, and the Flip X / Flip Y buttons at the bottom.</p></figcaption></figure>

Underneath the clips, you can see a row of zone buttons (both on-screen and reflected on the APC40), marked *BEAM 1* to *BEAM 8* by default. Use these buttons to toggle zones for the *currently selected clip*.

#### Scrolling through the zones

If there are more than 8 zones you can scroll left and right using :

* `Shift + Left / Right Arrow`
* The *DEV ON/OFF* and *DEV LOCK* buttons on the APC40

### Flip X and Y

Underneath each zone button you can see buttons marked *X* and *Y.* These flip the output to each zone horizontally and vertically, respectively.

{% hint style="info" %}
You don't need to make a new zone to have different mirror settings. The X and Y flip settings apply to this clip only, they're not a setting of the zone.
{% endhint %}

### Assigning zones to multiple clips at once

You can assign zones and adjust X/Y for all clips in a zone. See [groups](https://docs.liberationlaser.com/clips/groups "mention") for more information.
