In this menu all actions are placed that can be applied to clips. Consequently the most important ones can also be found in the context menu for clips.

3.1. Play

3.3. Add to Playlist

This is a submenu, containing a list of all playlists. By selecting one of them the selected clips are appended to that playlist, but only if they are not already contained in that playlist. Additionally there is a menu item called “New Playlist” which allows to add the selected clips to a new playlist.

3.7. Properties

This action allows you to edit the information stored for each clip. You can set one or more fields of information for one as well as for a bunch of clips.

Icon for this action: none

Shortcut for this action: Ctrl-F9

When selecting this action you will see a dialog similar to:

Figure 3.6. Playlist Properties - Album

Playlist Properties - Album

There are different sets of data available. To learn more about all the meta data stored in ID3 tags take a look the appendix.

When you edit tags for more than one clip at once, you usually want to change not all the data, but only one or two field. As long as a field contains the “Leave as is” value that field is not updated in any of the selected clips.

For each field you can have a look at the values that occur for that field in the selected clip(s).

Warning

Please note, that the data you enter in this dialog is written to the media file of each clip selected.

Note

Unfortunately editing is not implemented for all ID3 tags yet. Its just a bunch of work, so you are limited to the most important ones up to now ... this will probably change in the future :)
