Editing : Editing Basics : Displaying Clip Names, Clip Times, and Other Data

Displaying Clip Names, Clip Times, and Other Data
Clip names and times can sometimes get in the way of editing audio waveforms and MIDI data. In these instances, you may want to disable their display. In other instances, such as arranging or spotting Foley, displaying clip names and times is extremely useful.
To enable or disable the display of clip names in playlists:
*
Select or deselect View > Clip > Name.
To display clip times:
*
From View > Clip, select one of the following options:
No Time
Disables display of clip times.
Current Time
Displays start and end times for clips.
Original Time Stamp
Displays the Original Time Stamp for each clip. The Original Time Stamp is the original timecode location for the clip when it was first recorded or created.
User Time Stamp
Displays the User Time Stamp for each clip. The User Time Stamp, which defaults to the Original Time Stamp, can be redefined with the Time Stamp command.
 
Displaying Clip Data on All Channels
For stereo and greater-than-stereo multichannel tracks, clip data can be shown on all channels.
To enable or disable the display of clip data on all channels:
*
Select or deselect View > Clip > Display on All Channels.
Displaying Other Clip Information
You can also choose to display the following in clips:
Sync Points
Can be displayed on clips in playlists. This is useful when visually spotting to timecode or in arranging in Grid mode. For more information, see Sync Points.
Processing State
For clips that are processed with Elastic Audio, displays a Warp indicator in playlists and in the Clip List. See Warped Clips.
Channel Name and Scene And Take Information
Can be displayed in clips in playlists and in the Clip List. This is useful for working with multichannel recordings and metadata made by field recorders. For detailed information on workflows for field recorders, see Working with Field Recorders in Pro Tools.
Rating
Can be displayed on clips in playlists. This is useful for arranging when working with multiple playlists and alternate takes. See Rating Clips.
Clip Overlaps
Can be displayed on clips in playlists. This is useful for arranging and when working with tick-based audio tracks. See Clip Overlap and Underlap.
Clip Gain Line
Shows the Clip Gain Line for all clips in the Edit window. The Clip Gain Line lets you edit the clip gain settings for any given clip using breakpoint editing, much like with track-based volume automation. See Clip Gain Line.
Clip Gain Info
Shows the Clip Gain Fader icon at the beginning of the clip, in the lower left corner. If the clip uses static clip gain, the static Clip Gain value (–144 dB to +36.0 dB) for a clip is displayed to the right of the Clip Gain Fader icon. For a clip that has dynamic clip gain (using breakpoint gain settings), the Clip Gain value is not shown. For more information, see Clip Gain Info View.
