Because there is only one Name property shared between a master clip and its
affiliates, you can change this property either from the master clip or from any of the
affiliate clips. Regardless of where you change the Name property, all of the affiliate
clips reflect the change simultaneously.
Although master clips share most clip properties with their affiliate clips, there are a
few properties that affiliate clips do not share. Most of these properties are for editing,
trimming, or compositing. For example, each affiliate clip has its own In and Out points
so it can have a unique duration in a sequence while still referring to the same media
file via its master clip.
For more information about modifying clip properties in the Browser columns or in
the Item Properties window, see Volume II, Chapter 5, “Working with Projects, Clips,
and Sequences.”
Shared Properties Stored in Master Clips
The following clip properties are stored in a master clip, and these are shared between
