6.5.2 The Context Menu of Video Clips
The context menu of video clips (usually invoked with a right-click of
the mouse) provides the following menu options and functions that can
be used with video clips:
top right Usually, the exact outpoint of the last frame of the
clip on the timeline.
This value and its notation depend on the
display setting for the timeline (time-
code/frame notation, see section “Config-
uring the Timeline Scale” on page 6-9) and
the display type setting of the timeline (see
section “Changing the Display Type” on
page 6-10).
bottom left Name of the clip as it is available in the bin together
with its folder path.
bottom right Length/duration of the clip.
You can receive additional information about the clips via their
tooltips which can be customized to your individual needs (see
section “Configuring the Tooltips of Clips” on page 6-10 for
further information).
Match frame If you want to know the exact position of an indi-
vidual frame in the source material of the video
clip or transfer this image (or the complete image
sequence) to another application for further pro-
cessing, you can select the menu option Match
frame. Further information about this feature can
be found in section “Matching an Individual Vid-
eo Frame” on page 6-64.
Delete This menu option deletes the respective clip where
the context menu was invoked from the timeline.
Alternatively, you can select the clip and press the
[Del] key on your keyboard.

These menu options enable you to work with at-
tached clips: Sometimes during your editing work
you may want to group audio and video clips, for
example, if they are already perfectly aligned and
in synchronization. For this the timeline provides
the possibility to attach audio to video clips. Fur-
ther information about how to work with at-
tached clips and how to use these menu options
can be found in section “Attaching Audio Clips to
Video Clips” on page 6-55.
