The Inspector has been redesigned to make it easier to find specific controls and to adjust common settings for your clips. Instead of a long vertical list, different aspects of the Inspector have now been organized into panels, with each controlling specific grouped sets of parameters for your clip.
The Inspector is activated by clicking on the Inspector Panel in the upper-right section of the User Interface toolbar. The Inspector is broken up into individual Video, Audio, Effects, Transition, Image, and File panels. Inspector panels that are not applicable to your clip or selection are grayed out.

Adjusting Media Pool Clips in the Inspector
You can directly modify Media Pool clips in the Inspector, before you edit those clips into a timeline. This allows you to change the parameters of source media so that clips that are subsequently edited into a timeline carry those new settings with it. For example, you can prepare your material prior to editing by changing the clip’s file and RAW settings, adjusting the audio levels and EQ, or assigning it a specific lens correction, etc. Once modified, any part of that clip would have the correct Inspector parameters already in place when you edited them into your timeline.
1 Select one or more clips in the Media Pool Panel of either the Media, Cut, Edit, or Fairlight pages.
2 Open the Inspector panel, and adjust any parameters in the Video, Audio, Image and File tabs.
