Copies of the original clip take up as much disc space as the original clip. If the size of
your project is an issue, you may want to simply reuse the original clip by setting markers
and creating scripts to access the clip from another project element.
Viewing a Clip’s Properties
When you select a clip in one of the Track Editor’s video or audio streams, the Clip Inspector
appears.
To accommodate the additional settings used to configure transitions, the Clip Inspector
used for still clips contains two tabs: General and Transition. The General tab contains
the same information and settings as with video clips. See Using Still Clip Transitions for
information on the Transition tab.
Note: Selecting a clip in a subtitle stream opens the Subtitle Inspector. See Creating
Subtitles for information on subtitles.
The Clip Inspector shows information about both the clip and the stream.
Settings at the top of the Inspector
• Name: Enter a name for the clip. This name applies to the clip in this track’s timeline
only—it does not affect the asset’s name in the Assets tab.
• Asset: Shows the clip’s actual filename.
• Est. Size: Shows how much disc space this clip requires.
Clip Information and Settings
• Start: Shows the clip’s start time in the stream.
