What is a CLIP file?

CLIP files mostly belong to Grand Theft Auto V by Rockstar. CLIP files usually contain images (illustrations) created with Clip Studio Paint, a 2-dimensional drawing software mainly used to create digital comic books. Illustrations stored in CLIP files usually consist of brush strokes, text, shapes, and 2D objects applied to multiple layers of vector or raster graphics. Replay clips created by Grand Theft Auto 5 (GTA V) are also stored in CLIP files. Such clip files contain a sequence of timed input commands entered by the game controller to perform certain actions in the game. The game engine uses the contents of a CLIP file to simulate and replay such an action sequences as if it were a video recording.
