Clip details panel

Use the clip details panel to view and edit all the properties of a selected clip. This window also shows the thumbnails and media for a clip and is the main way of logging clips. It is also used for sequence editing. (In older versions of CatDV the functionality of the details panel was provided by the clip details dialog. This is still available for compatibility, though in most cases the new clip details panel has greatly improved functionality.)

You can show or hide the clip details panel at the top of the main window by toggling the clip details toolbar button.

Viewing media

There are three tabs that show all the media representations available for a clip: thumbnail images, the original movie, or a low-resolution preview movie.

Viewing and editing clip details

The Summary, Log Notes and Technical tabs display the various properties of the clip selected in the main window.

Logging menu

Use commands in the Logging menu to navigate within the clip details window, move to other clips, and perform logging.

Timecode event markers

In the Professional Edition you can create markers to flag particular events of interest within a clip without having to create subclips for each event.
