Viewing and Editing Clip Properties

two clips created from the same source audio file.
The following properties for the selected clip are displayed, and can be edited, in the
Clip tab of the Details tab:
 Playback buttons: Set whether the clip is looping or non-looping. When you add an
audio file to the Timeline, the clip will be non-looping unless the audio file is tagged
as a looping file.
 Measure in pop-up menu: Sets the units shown in the Position, Duration, and Offset
value sliders.
 Position value slider: Sets the start point for the clip in the Timeline.
