The Object
Customizing the Object Properties Box
1 Click the wrench icon to open a field containing three tabs: General, Timecodes and Special.
2 Drag the elements you want to include in the dialog box from the appropriate tab to the required
position. The position of existing buttons is shifted to make way for the added tools. Remove any
elements by dragging them to a tab or the desktop. The mouse pointer turns into a trashcan sym-
bol when an element is in an area in which it can be removed.
The Customize dialog box has to be open to move elements within the Properties dialog box.
3 When you have finished, click the Customize button again. The new settings are now used for all
Racks in the Project and saved in the user profile (page 985).
General Elements of the Object Properties Box
The customize elements are distributed among three tabs:
Tab: General
 Name -
Name of object appears initially. This can be the name automatically assigned by the system, for
instance, during logging (see also Clip Tab: Naming and Numbering Clips on page 129) or a name
you created. You can use this name or enter any name of your choice.
 Comment -
Use to enter comments regarding the object.
 Reel -
For a video or audio clip: Name or number of the object’s source tape/medium. You cannot edit
this field (see also Media Management on page 313).
 Audio Reel -
The name of the
Reel where the clip’s audio originated. Video and audio clips from different
sources can be synchronized using the
ClipSync Function (page 306).
 Tracks -
Used to specify the object’s video and/or audio Source Tracks.
You can regroup disbanded clips (following a Disband Clip(s) operation) by reactivating the orig-
inal Source Tracks (see page 424).
In the Tr a c k field, you can deselect audio/video tracks that were previously digitized and add tracks that
have not yet been digitized. Naturally, clips with source tracks added must be redigitized (if Media Man-
agement cannot match suitable Media Files).
