Clip Metadata Editor showing the Clip Details
panel for a clip in the Timeline
Inspector
The Inspector can be opened to let you customize compositing, transform, and cropping
parameters for clips, as well as clip-specific retime and scaling options. Furthermore, the
Inspector lets you edit the parameters of transitions, titles, and generators used in the Timeline,
in order to customize their effect.
The Inspector, opened and showing a clip’s parameters
When the Inspector is open, the Source and Timeline viewers move to the left, to sit alongside
the Inspector showing the selected clip’s parameters. However, if your computer display’s
resolution is not high enough, opening the Inspector may result in the Source Viewer
being hidden.

 To open a video or audio clip’s transform settings when the Inspector is closed:

toolbar.
 If the Inspector is already open: You need only select a clip or effect to reveal its
controls in the Inspector.
