Color-Coding Clips in the Timeline

If you use labels to identify and sort your clips in the Browser, the clips’ names will be
highlighted in the color that matches each label. Using keyboard shortcuts, you can
change the labels of clips directly in the Timeline.

Important:

Changes made to the label of any clip are also applied to all affiliated clips in

the Browser and in other sequences.
