Modifying Data Directly
c
Modifying tape names and timecodes affects any key numbers entered for the selected
clips.
To modify the clip data directly in a bin:
1. Click the Text tab in the bin to enter Text view.
2. Click the cell that you want to modify. Select only one item at a time. In the following
example, the timecode data is highlighted.
3. Click the cell again to enter text.
If the pointer does not change to an I-beam, you might be attempting to modify a
column that cannot be directly modified.
4. Type the new information, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
Using the Modify Command to Modify Data
The Modify command gives you specialized control over groups of clip information. For
example, you can use the Modify command to change the name of source tapes, or to
increment or decrement the start and end timecodes by a specified length of time for one or
several clips at once.
You can apply changes with the Modify command to master clips only; subclips and
sequences are not altered in this way. In addition, you can perform modifications that only
alter the end timecodes or the tracks before capture, as described in the following table.
