Changing the Properties of Affiliate Clips
Because master clips and their affiliate clips share certain properties, you need only
change the property of one of the master or affiliate clips to change that property in all
of them. For instance, if you want to change a clip’s name, it doesn’t matter whether
you change the name in the master clip or any of its affiliate clips. Since they all share
the same name property, all the clips will have the new name.
Changes to the following clip properties are applied to all affiliated clips:
 Name
 Reel
 TC
 Media Start
 Media End
 Good
 Log Note
 Label
 Label 2
 Anamorphic
 Capture
 Offline
 Scene
 Shot/Take
 Angle
 Master Comments 1–4
Most properties are shared between master and affiliate clips, but there are a few
exceptions. For example, In and Out points are unique to each master and affiliate clip,
so trimming one clip doesn’t affect the duration of all the other affiliated clips.
Clip properties that are not shared between all affiliated clips are:
 Comment A–B
 In
 Out
 Duration
 Aux TC 1–2
 Description
 Film Safe
 Composite
 Reverse Alpha
