Tip #775: Examine and Alter Media Clip Properties

Inspector > Media changes the character of the media itself.

Have you ever selected a clip in Motion, then looked at the source media controls in the Inspector? Yeah, me neither. But there’s some cool stuff there. Take a look.

To show this pane:

• Click Media in the Project pane.
• Select the clip you want to review.
• Open Inspector > Media (see screen shot).

This pane allows you to change:

• Alpha (transparency)
• Color space
• Pixel aspect ratio
• Field order (interlacing)
• Frame rate
• And more…
