The new name will show in the Timeline track at bottom of the clip.
IMPORTANT: Changing a clip name in the Timeline only affects the instance of the clip in that specific Timeline. It does not rename the original Clip Name in the Media Pool, nor
does it rename that same clip that may exist in other timelines. If you want to rename a clip across your entire DaVinci Resolve project, modify the Clip Name in the Media Pool instead.

TIP: If you want to use a custom clip name on more than one timeline, you can copy and paste the clip between timelines, and the pasted clip will retain its custom name. However both clip names will be independent from each other from that point forward.

Color Labeling Clips in the Timeline
By default, different clips have specific colors that identify each type of clip. Furthermore, clips with effects applied to them (adjustments in the Inspector, volume level changes, speed changes, and so on), appear as a darker shade of their default color to help you identify at a glance which clips have been modified.
The following table lists what these default colors are.
Clip Type | Color |
Video Clip | Steel Blue |
Audio Clip | Light Green |
Generator | Light Purple |
Text | Beige |
Clip with effects | Shaded darker |
Custom Clip Colors
Additionally, you can assign one of 16 colors to clips. Each clip can only have a single color assigned to it. Also, unlike flags, clip colors are clip-specific, so assigning a clip color to one use of a clip in the Timeline has no effect on any other clips that share the same source media in the Media Pool.
