Selection and Clip Modifiable Fields
Name
This field shows the name of clip as it appears in the composition. This name will also be dis-
played in the clip block when the clip is set to Show Text.
Comment
This field shows a user comment concerning the clip. The information displayed here will also be shown
in the Comment field in the EDL Tab window
Level
Available in both
Pops up a window with a fader and numerical entry box for level, and two check boxes, Sel.ection and
Rel.ative. When neither box is checked any gain change is only applied to the clip on which you last
right clicked (even if others are selected). If Sel. is checked, the gain will be applied to the whole selec-
tion (selected by default). If Rel. is checked and you have a grouped series of clips the gain change is
relative to pre-existing levels.
If you click on the > in the “selection” part gain is applied to the whole selection, and if you click in the
“clip” part, the gain is applied only to the clip which was under the mouse when you clicked.
E.g: Three clips are selected, the first at -1 dB, the second at -2 dB and the third at -3 dB. You wish to
increase the gain of all the selected clips by 1dB. Check the Rel. box and add 1 dB either with the fader
or in the numeric box. This will result in the first track at 0 dB, second at -1, third at -2.
Phase Invert
Toggles between No and Yes (Phase inverted)
Mute
Toggles between No and Yes (Muted)
Auto Deglitching
Drops down a list box with choice of None, Follow General Settings or fade settings between 1.0 [mS]
and 5.0 [mS] in 0.5[mS] increments. This feature avoids the necessity to manually make short fades
when quickly making cut edits. On any clips that do not already have a fade a small ramp is automati-
cally applied to avoid clicks at the beginning and end. Any clips with fades previously applied bypass
the Auto-Deglitching feature.
Clip Information Only Fields
Apart from the modifiable fields listed above, clip also shows the following information fields:
Length
This shows the total length of the selected clip segment.
Media Offset
This field shows the amount by which the start of the selected clip segment is offset from the beginning
of the entire Master Clip.
