80 Chapter 4 Using the Log and Transfer Window
 List view buttons: There are two ways to view the list of clips on mounted volumes:
 Hierarchical List view: View clips grouped by volume. In this view, you can click the
disclosure triangle next to a volume name to show or hide the clips contained
within. You can also select the volume and press the Right Arrow key to open it
and the Left Arrow key to close it. By default, this view shows columns for Name,
thumbnail images, Media Start, and Media Duration.
 Flat List view: View clips from all mounted volumes in a single list. Each clip’s
parent volume is specified in the Volume column. This view is unique because it
consolidates spanned clips into a single item. If you are working with spanned
clips, you should usually work in this view.
 Action pop-up menu: Contains commands to modify the current selection. This is also
where you access the Log and Transfer window preferences.
 Column headings: Columns display clip properties and metadata. You can use
column headings the following ways:
 Click a column heading to sort clips by this property. Click the column heading
again to reverse the sort order.
 Control-click and choose a column heading from the shortcut menu to show or
hide additional columns such as Format, Compressor, and Shooting Date.
 Reorder column headings by dragging them to the left or right.
 Clip properties: Most clip properties are read-only, but you can change some
properties, such as Name, Scene, Shot, In, and Out, by double-clicking them, pressing
Enter, or pressing Return. If a clip name is selected, you can press Tab to edit the
name of the next clip in the Browse area.
Changes to clip properties are temporarily stored within the current project, but clip
properties remain unchanged on the mounted volumes. This means that:
 Before ingesting a clip in the Log and Transfer window, you can revert back to a
clip’s original properties by Control-clicking the clip and choosing Revert to
Original Metadata from the shortcut menu.
 While logging clips to a new project in the Log and Transfer window, you won’t see
clip property modifications that you made while logging clips in other projects. In
other words, clip properties can only be modified on a per-project basis.
