Proper media management is an essential part of the clip input and output process. One of the elements of efficient media management is methodical and consistent naming of the clips you capture and the tapes from which they originate. Before capturing a clip, assign a name to the tape and the resulting clip. This assignment makes it easier to organize your clips, trace them back to the source tape, and, when necessary, recapture them.
The tape name is stored with the clip. In the clip library or on the Desktop, you can Alt-click the clip to view its information, including the tape name.
