Chapter 8: Still images 151
With bitmapped images, including ordinary photos and
image files, and with disc menus, double-click the clip
for a third way to access the tool. Double-clicking a
title, however, opens it directly into the Title Editor
instead.
All versions of the Clip properties tool allow you to set
the duration and name of the current clip, as follows:
• To set the length of time the still image is displayed,
change the value in the Duration counter.
• The Name text field lets you assign a custom name
to the clip to replace the default one assigned by
Studio. Clip names are used by the Movie Window’s
Text view, and can also be viewed on the fly-by
labels that appear when your mouse hovers over
clips in the Storyboard view.
See The Clip properties tool for disc menus is
described in Chapter 9: Disc menus. See Chapter 10:
The Title Editor for details about editing the properties
of titles.
Editing photos and graphics
The Clip properties tool for editing bitmapped images
allows you to perform several important image-
processing tasks:
• Zoom in on your pictures and photos in order to crop
away unneeded material and focus on only the
essential part of the image;
• Rotate the image in 90-degree increments to permit
the use of photos taken in “portrait” mode;
• Remove the “red-eye” effect that can occur when the
subject of a photograph looks directly into the
camera when the flash goes off;
