Understanding Column Display in the Interplay Window
You can modify the display of columns in the Interplay Window in a variety of ways. You can:
• Sort the information in all of the columns in the media tabs in the Research panel except the
Frame column
The Type column sorts alphabetically based on the type of media object (audio clip, master
clip, sequence, subclip).
• Move columns to rearrange their order
• Select individual or multiple columns to be displayed or hidden in the Interplay Window
• Add columns to the display in the Research panel in the Interplay Window in order to
display additional properties for media objects
Available column headings are determined by selections in the Interplay Administrator.
Added columns appear only for the selected folder and for the current work session. If you
want to use the same columns the next time you log in to your Avid editing application, you
must save a custom layout. See “Using Custom Layouts for the Interplay Window” on
page 1162.
• Create new column headings in the Research panel.
New column headings (custom properties) are added to the database. Be careful when
creating custom properties. Currently, you cannot delete custom properties, but you can turn
off their display.
If the new heading has the same name as a system property or a user property — for
instance, FPS (frames per second) — the new column displays the properties for the heading
already in the database. You cannot create two headings with the same name.
• Enlarge or reduce the width of any column in the Research panel.
When you change the size of the Frame column, the head frames increase or decrease in
size. You must enlarge or reduce all frames in the Research panel together. You cannot
change the size of an individual frame.
For instructions on modifying column display in the Interplay Window, see “Modifying Column
Display in the Interplay Window” on page 1153.
