Apple Final Cut Pro 5 - Manual (Page 359)

24 Part I Organizing Footage and Preparing to Edit
Assigning Labels and Setting Label Names
to Help Manage Your Media
Each item in Final Cut Pro has two label properties: Label and Label 2. Both label
properties can be customized in different ways:
 Label: This can be one of several names and associated colors as assigned in the
Labels tab of the User Preferences window. This property affects the color of its clip,
sequence, or bin.
 Label 2: This can be any text you type in the Label 2 Browser column or Item
Properties window. This field is not limited to the various labels in the User
Preferences window for the Label property, but it also does not provide the
convenient color-coding of that property.
Both label properties are displayed when you have Standard Columns selected in the
Browser, but you can always choose to hide or show these columns as needed. (To
choose Standard Columns, Control-click any column heading in the Browser, then
choose Standard Columns from the shortcut menu.)
To assign a label to a clip in the Browser, do one of the following:
m Control-click in the Label column of the clip, then choose a label from the shortcut
menu.
m Control-click a clip, choose Label from the shortcut menu, then choose a label from
the submenu.
m Select a clip, choose Edit > Item Properties > Logging Info, Control-click in the Label
field, then choose a label from the shortcut menu.
These are the various
labels available.
