The Information Tab

The Information tab in the Tool UI appears when you use the fixed File Browser view. The first and second columns contain properties that belong to a sequence of image files. The third and fourth columns are the properties of the resulting footage composition.

• Path Location of selected file. If you select more than one file, the path of the last selected file is displayed.

• Type  Displays the type of file that is selected—see Footage Role.

• Created Date the file was created.

• Modified Date the file was last modified.

• Owner Owner of the file on the file system. The creator of the file.

• Size The size of the selected file in megabytes.

• Details Information on the selected file, including channels, depth, pixel ratio and whether it is tiled, and so on.

• Duration The length of the selected file in frames.

• Start The start frame of the selected file.

• End The end frame of the selected file.

• Poster The thumbnail of the selected file that is displayed in the File Browser (in Proxy view) and in the mini-Player of the Information tab.

• Format The destination format of the selected file—see Specifying the Destination Format.

• Resolution  The resolution of the selected file.

Composite guesses the image ratio, pixel ratio, and rate of the media you select from the Import view. The image's resolution is compared with a list of common combinations of pixel aspect and resolution. The aspect ratio is related to the image ratio; changing it affects the image ratio.

• Image Ratio  The image resolution of the selected media, taking into account the pixel ratio.

• Pixel Ratio The pixel ratio of the selected media. You can set the pixel aspect ratio.

• Rate  The frame rate of the selected media. You can set the rate.

• Source Indicates the source from which your composition was originally created. In Composite, this property depends on the actual source; you can edit the source at any time. There are four different sources.

• Channels The channels in the selected file.

• Depth The bit depth of the selected file; you can modify the depth.

• Repeat  The repeat mode when you play a composition.

• Mark In Set a mark in frame, the first frame to start import.

• Mark Out Set a mark out frame, the last frame to import.

• Comp Start When you create a footage composition, the start time is set after the number of the first frame of the sequence. Sometimes you will want the start time to be unconditionally set to a different number, which you can do with the Comp Start editable value field.
