Type a new name in the column’s Name field, then press Return.

The Master Comment and Comment column headings are the only column headings you
can change. Once you customize the name of a Comment column, it remains changed in
that project file, even if you hide it. New projects you create use the default names.

If you want to change several Comment headings at once, use the Project Properties
window. For more information, see Volume II, Chapter 5, “Working With Projects, Clips,
and Sequences.”

Working With the Browser in Icon View

In large, medium, or small icon view, you arrange your clips graphically in the Browser.
Video clips are displayed as a thumbnail of the starting frame of video, audio clips are
displayed as a speaker, and bins are indicated by a folder icon. If a video clip has an
audio track, a small speaker icon appears inside the clip’s thumbnail.

You can use different views for open Browser windows and tabs. For example, you can
keep the main tab of your project in the Browser in list view for organizational
purposes, but open bins in their own windows or tabs using large icon view to quickly
identify clips visually.

Enter the new
column name.
