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.
For more information about using the Inspector in the Media Pool, see Chapter 20, “Using the Inspector in the Media Page.”
Changing Clip Attributes
Using the Clip Attributes window, you can alter additional attributes for multiple clips all at once. This window has some overlap with other clip attributes that are editable directly from submenus within the Media Pool clip contextual menu.
1 Select one or more clips in the Media Pool by Shift-clicking, Command-clicking, or dragging a bounding box around them.
2 Right-click one of the selected clips, and choose Clip Attributes.
3 Click to open the panel of the attributes you want to edit. If you’ve selected multiple clips, then making your alterations automatically checks the box of the attributes being changed.
4 When you’re finished, click OK to accept the changes.
