Different Tools for Diagnosing Clips
Final Cut Pro has the following diagnostic tools for analyzing media files:
 Analyze Movie Clip or File: These two commands allow you to examine the properties
of media files on disk, including the data rate, frame rate, frame size, and video and
audio compressors used. Both commands are identical, but each one accesses media
files differently. The Analyze Clip command works with media files referenced by clips
in your project. The Analyze File command allows you to analyze a media file that
isn’t referenced by a clip in your project.
