6.2.4 Configuring the Tooltips of Clips

displayed as soon as the mouse cursor is placed over a clip:

Then you can see, for example, the file name of the clip or its in- and
outpoint on the timeline. The information displayed via the tooltips can
be adjusted freely to your individual needs with the Configuration Tool
of the DVS software (see “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide for
more information).
Additionally, you can turn on or off the tooltips of the clips in the time-
line. For this call up the context menu on either a video or audio clip
and select the menu option Enable tooltip (see also section “The Con-
text Menu of Video Clips” on page 6-61 or section “The Context Menu
of Audio Clips” on page 6-75 for further information).

played by clips in the Edit Tool.
The position information of clips are shown, for example, in their text
information after they were added to the timeline (top left and top
right, see section “The Clip’s Information” on page 6-60) or in the en-
try fields of a bin clip in the source-edit mode of the control area (see
section “The Source-Edit Mode” on page 5-14).
When you select the arrow to the right of the combo box, a drop-down
list will be available where you can set the display type:
The tooltips can also be enabled or disabled via the Configura-
tion Tool (see “CLIPSTER Configurations” user guide for more
information).
