Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1515)

Description Name of property
Name of the clip.
During logging, the name property is usually created automatically
from a combination of the Description, Scene, Shot/Take, and Angle
properties, which are entered in the Log and Capture window.
You can change a clip’s name in the Browser or Item Properties
window at any time. However, changing the name of a clip doesn’t
change the name of the clip’s media file on the hard disk, so be
careful when doing this as it may complicate media management
later on in your project.
Name
Shows how a clip’s alpha channel is handled—None/Ignore, Straight,
Black, or White. Graphics or animation files created outside
Final Cut Pro may have an alpha channel. Although Final Cut Pro
usually discerns the correct alpha channel type when you import
media files, you can change the type if necessary. Alpha
A checkmark in this property indicates that the media file’s pixel
data was intended to be displayed, anamorphically (stretched wide).
You can set this property to force a clip with a 4:3 aspect ratio to
be widescreen 16:9.
For clips, this property is originally based on the capture preset
used; for sequences, it’s based on the sequence settings. You can
change this property at any time.
When you reconnect a clip to a media file, the Anamorphic property
in the media file overrides the clip property. However, if you
manually change the clip property, reconnecting to a new media
file no longer updates this property.
Anamorphic
The camera angle number (or letter) of a clip from a multicamera
shoot. When ordering clips during multiclip creation, Final Cut Pro
uses the value in this property when available. Angle
The bit depth of each audio sample (typically 16- or 24-bit integer). Aud Format
The audio sample rate of a sequence or a clip’s media file. Aud Rate
Indicates the number of mono and stereo audio clip items for a clip
and its corresponding media file. To change this property, the clip
must be offline and you must use the Clip Settings command in
the Modify menu. Audio
