Clip Properties
A clip has many properties, or characteristics, some of which you can customize, and
some of which are automatically inherited from the media file that a clip references. Some
properties may be left blank while others are always defined. Some properties, such as
comments, log notes, and labels, are stored only within the clip object that resides in
your Final Cut Pro project file. Other properties, such as the frame dimensions and data
rate, reside in the media file itself, since they describe characteristics inherent to the
media.
Clips imported from Cinema Tools have additional film properties used for matching your
clips back to original film negatives. These properties can only be modified in the
Cinema Tools database that they refer to. For more information, see the documentation
that came with Cinema Tools.
You can view and modify clip properties in the following locations:
• Browser columns
• Item Properties dialog (choose Edit > Item Properties)
• Modify Timecode dialog (choose Modify > Timecode)
