Clip annotation suggestion (UncleD)

[UncleD]

Hello, 

I was just wondering if there might be a future version of VideoPad that will include the option to name individual clips in the sequence, or perhaps add comments to them.  This would definitely help with some organizational aspects and expedite workflow.

Thank you

Hi UncleD

You can already rename a clip in the clip bin.

1. Select it and right click.
2. Pick Rename from the menu. The name/Text you enter  then appears in the bin and also in the info pop-up that appears when you hover over the same clip on the sequence.. Annotation text is not available per se but  you could add notes regarding the selected clip following the new name. e.g. New name in upper case and annotated notes in lower case. e.g.....

The box provided for entering the  Rename will accommodate quite lengthy texts all of which will all appear when the clip is hovered over but will appear truncated in the clip bin until you hover over it.

Try this and see it it useful to you.

Nat.

Suggest it by clicking the chevron at the top-right of the VP window.  Mousing over the clip will invoke a pop up with name, time and other info.

And, as Nat notes, renaming is available for clips in the bin (top-left).
