Viewing and Changing Clip Properties
in the Item Properties Window
If you find yourself constantly scrolling through the Browser to find particular clip
properties, you can save yourself some time by viewing the clip’s properties in the Item
Properties window instead. The Item Properties window is also a convenient way of
viewing properties of clips that refer to multiple tracks within media files, or multiple
media files on disk—for example, merged clips and multiclips. Three tabs in this
window—Format, Timing, and Logging—allow you to view or change any clip
property. An additional Film tab is used for viewing film metadata imported from
Cinema Tools.
Viewing and Modifying Clip Properties
The Item Properties window displays a detailed view of each clip’s properties in a
consistent, organized way.
To view and modify clip properties:
1 Select a clip in the Browser or Timeline, or double-click a clip to open it in the Viewer.
2 Do one of the following:
 Choose Edit > Item Properties, then choose an option from the submenu.
 Control-click a clip in the Browser, then choose an option from the Item Properties
submenu in the shortcut menu.
 Press Command-9.
