Modifying Data in Bins
You can modify data in bin columns directly by typing in a selected text field. You can use the
standard keyboard shortcuts for entering text — for example, press Ctrl+A (Windows) or
Command+A (Macintosh) to select all text in a text field
You can also use the Modify command for 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. You cannot alter subclips
and sequences in this way. You can modify the data of captured, imported and file-based clips. In
addition, you can perform modifications that only alter the end timecodes or the tracks before
capture.
