Clip Metadata

Clip metadata includes information like the name of the clip, the repeat mode, timecode source, and trim points. This information is stored with the clip and is copied to other servers with the clip.

Note: You can only edit the metadata, lock, or trim Abekas® native .CLIP files. Other formats, such as the native-codec .MXF files, can only be played in their original state.

Tip: Most metadata shown in the Clip Library can be edited directly by double-clicking on the cell in the table and either entering the new data or selecting it from a drop-down list.
