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.

The composition was created	Source Initial Value
In Composite (new)	Composite
From an import operation (not from DND)	File
From Wiretap - IFFFS	The value of the tape name property
From Wiretap - generic	Wiretap

NoteWhen you publish to Wiretap/IFFFS, the value of Source is written out to the Tape Name property of the IFFFS clip.

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.
