Modifying Information in the Database
You can modify any information in the database by editing settings in the Detail View
window and the Identify window. Some of the calculations you make using the Identify
feature update pre-existing information, modifying the database automatically. See
“
Using the Identify Feature to Enter and Calculate Database Information ” on page 82 for
more information.
Deleting a Database Record
Note: Be careful when you delete a database record, because there is no way to undo
this command.
To delete a database record:
1 Open the database record in the Detail View window, or select it in the List View window.
2 Choose Database > Delete Record, or press Command-Delete.
Note: When you delete a database record that is connected to a source clip, you don’t
actually delete the clip from your hard disk. You only delete the database record.
Choosing a Different Poster Frame for a Clip
By default, after a connected clip is opened in the Clip window, a small picture of the
first frame of the clip appears in the Detail View window. This picture is called the
poster frame. You can choose to display a different frame of the clip if the first frame of
the clip is hard to recognize, as with black frames.
The default clip poster frame does not appear in the Detail View window until after
 the clip has been connected to a database record
 the clip has been opened in the Clip window
