His second feature outing was the Australian historical adventure-drama Burke & Wills which was chosen as a participant in the 1986 Cannes Film Festival. He followed up with the contemporary action-suspense drama Gleaming the Cube, starring Christian Slater, and Deception (a.k.a. Ruby Cairo), starring Andie MacDowell, Liam Neeson and Viggo Mortensen.

Born in Sydney, Australia, Clifford obtained his wide-ranging experience in editing, special effects, sound recording/mixing, animation and assistant directing at Artransa Park, Sydney's only film studio for many years. In 1964 he moved to London and worked at the BBC in their editing department. He then moved to Canada where he worked for CBD as an editor making commercials and documentaries in Vancouver. While there he met Robert Altman and got a job assisting editing on That Cold Day in the Park. Altman liked the work he did and invited Clifford to Los Angeles.
