Steps

Choose action category Queue Video, select Queue Clip, and click Add action.
Expand the action card. Configure the Fields below; check Editor defaults for your context and any operation-dependent fields.

Use Move action up / Move action down to position this action, then save the containing command, automation, timer or SheevPad button.
