Affiliate Clip Properties
The following clip properties are unique to each affiliate clip, and unique to the master clip
as well. These properties are not shared. Most of these properties are properties for editing
and trimming, such as In and Out points, so that each affiliate clip can have a unique
duration in a sequence, while still referring to the same media file via its master clip.

Media File Properties
Some clip properties are derived from the media file itself. If the media file is deleted,
some of these properties are retained in the offline clip, while others become empty.
Master clips reference these properties directly from the media file. Affiliate clips
reference these properties via the master clip, so they are also considered to be shared
properties. However, clip properties derived from the media file can only be modified
in the media file, or by recapturing with different capture settings.
