If a disclosure triangle appears to the left of a clip in list view, it means a rating,
keyword, or both have been applied to that clip.
Sort clips in the Event Browser
You can sort clips in the Event Browser into an order that makes it easier to visually
locate them.
1 In the Event Library, select the Event whose clips you want to sort.
2 Do one or both of the following:
 To group clips by category: Choose Group Clips By from the Action pop-up menu
below the Event Library, and choose a category from the submenu. Choose to set
the sort order as Ascending or Descending from the same submenu.
 To set the sort order of the clips in the Event without grouping them: Choose Arrange
Clips By from the Action pop-up menu below the Event Library, and choose a
category from the submenu.
Note: You can both group clips and set their sort order (arrangement) independently.
Reset the sort order in the Event Browser to its default state
1 In the Event Library, select the Event that contains the clips whose sort order you want
to reset.
2 Choose Group Clips By > None and Group Clips By > Ascending from the Action
pop-up menu below the Event Library.
3 Choose Arrange Clips By > Content Created and Arrange Clips By > Ascending from
the Action pop-up menu.
Rename clips
You can rename clips in the Event Browser, the Timeline Index, or the Info inspector at
any time.
Renaming a clip aects only that instance of the clip. For example, if you add a clip
from the Event Browser to the Timeline, copy clips between Events, or copy clips
within the Timeline, each of these clip instances (copies) is independent of the others
and can have its own name.
Important: Renaming a clip in Final Cut Pro does not rename the clip’s source media
le on disk.
