Clip Information Reference

 
 
 

You can display detailed information about clips in the schematic such as resolution, frame rate, and size. As well, visual cues such as symbols and letters identify clips as having had a specific type of operation applied.

The colour of the clip information and letters and symbols also provides specific information.

Clip Information

You can choose what clip information is displayed under clips in the schematic by selecting an option from the Clip Info box in the Batch or Batch FX Schematic Preferences:

Select: To display:
Resolution The clip's name, number of frames, dimension, frame depth, and aspect ratio.
Size The clip's name, number of frames, and dimension (in pixels).

LUT symbol
Indicates that a LUT was applied to the clip. The first and second number represent the source and destination bit depths, for example [8 -> 16f].
[R] symbol
