To view the basic properties of a clip, right-click/ctrl-click the clip in the Project Assets panel, choose Properties.
View comprehensive file information
Premiere Elements includes tools that you can use to evaluate a file in any supported format stored inside or outside a project. For example, you
can determine whether a clip you exported has an appropriate data rate for Internet distribution. Video file properties can include file size,
number of video and audio tracks, duration, average frame rate, audio sample rate, video data rate, and compression settings. In addition, they
include information about dropped frames in captured clips.
Use the Get Properties feature to check for dropped frames in a clip you captured. Use the Data Rate Analysis graphs to evaluate how well the
output data rate matches the requirements of your delivery medium. The graphs depict the render keyframe rate, the difference between
compression keyframes and differenced frames (frames that exist between keyframes). They also depict the data rate levels at each frame.
Do one of the following:
If the clip is in the Expert view timeline, select it and choose File > Get Properties For > Selection.
If the clip is not in the project, choose File > Get Properties For > File. Locate the clip you want to analyze and then click Open.
Customize List view properties
You can customize the List view to display only the information you want to see. You can also rename columns, add columns of your own,
rearrange columns, and change the width of columns.

The Name property appears by default, and displays the clip name on disk. You cannot remove the Name property using the Edit Columns
dialog box. You can change the name the clip uses inside the project.
