HLG (Hybrid Log-Gamma) One of the two supported systems in the ITU-R Rec. 2100
standard for high-dynamic-range (HDR) video. The HLG transfer function relates image
signal values to scene-relative light levels and is compatible with standard-dynamic-range

broadcasting networks.

A Final Cut Pro inspector that displays information (called metadata) about
a clip or group of clips selected in either the browser or the timeline. You can display
different combinations of metadata with your clips, such as codecs, media start and end
times, reel, scene, take, EXIF information, and IPTC information. You can also use the Info
inspector to change the metadata for a selected clip or group of clips, and you can create
custom sets of metadata for display using the Metadata Views window, accessed from the
Info inspector. You also use the Info inspector to display and access project settings. See
also inspectors.
In point See edit point.
insert edit A type of edit that places the source clip so that all clips after the insertion
point are moved forward (or rippled) in the timeline to make room for the clip being added.
No clips are removed from your project. An insert edit makes the project longer by the
duration of the inserted clip.

the attributes of selected items. For example, you can adjust video effects in the Video
