Some features of this window:

 It updates to show the information of each frame as you move through a clip.
 The prior position of the Identify window on the screen is retained when it is

reopened.

 When multiple Clip windows are opened, the Identity window reflects the frame

information of the active window, updating as each window becomes active.

See “

Using the Identify Feature to Enter and Calculate Database Information

” on

page 82 for details on using the Identify window.

Clip Analysis Dialog

The Clip Analysis dialog displays detailed information regarding the current clip. This
information includes both file specifics (name and size, where it is located, and when it
was created) and content specifics (duration, frame rate, frame size, and compression
type used).

To open the Clip Analysis dialog, do one of the following:

m

Click Clip Analysis in the Clip window.

m

Choose Clip > Clip Analysis (available only when the Clip window is open).

Change Reel Dialog

The Change Reel dialog lets you make global changes to the video reel, sound roll,
camera roll, or lab roll settings in the database records. For example, you may find that
the number of leading zeros is different (001 versus 0001) between the video reel
numbers of Final Cut Pro and those you entered in the Cinema Tools database. This
dialog allows you to change all occurrences of a reel or roll number.
