Modifying Clip Information
You can change or modify the information in certain columns for your master clips, subclips,
tapes, and other objects stored in the bin. This is useful if some of the data is incorrect or if you
need to conform information for organizational purposes.
The following conditions apply to modifying clip information:
• When you modify a clip’s information, related objects automatically update to reflect the
new data. For example, if you change the name of a clip, the updated name appears in the
sequences that use the clip.
• You cannot modify some data after capture because changes would prevent you from
playing back and editing the material successfully.
• You cannot change sequence data even though it appears in your bin. The only way to
modify sequence data is to edit the sequence itself. You can, however, change the name and
start time for the master timecode track, as described in “Changing the Name and Timecode
for a Sequence” on page 542.
You can modify data in two ways:
• Modify some data directly for master clips, subclips, and other objects stored in a bin.
• Use the Modify command to change specific information for master clips only.
For more information, see “Modifying Data in Bins” on page 328.
Bin Column Headings
You can select individual or multiple headings to display or hide in a bin. For information on
how to select column headings, see “Moving, Aligning, and Deleting Bin Columns” on
page 318.
Your Avid editing application provides the ability to track multiple film gauges within a bin and
within a sequence. Bin column headings let you display detailed information about edgecodes,
film gauges, and source information such as scanned file type, color lookup table, and resource
location.
