# Naming Elements

You can name video elements, audio elements, as well as transitions, cue marks and track marks.

To name an element:

1. Select the element that you want to rename or place the cursor over the element, press the Context key (beside the Ctrl key on the right side of the keyboard), and select the Rename option from the list that appears.
   NoteIf you place the cursor over an element, make sure there is no explicit selection on another element.
2. Type a name in the Name field and press Enter.

   The element information on the timeline is updated. The new name is displayed above the original source name.

   NoteIf you do not see the new name of the element or the original source name, drag its track identifier down.
