How do I…?
The Inspector
The Inspector is where a video stops being only a file. Title, stars, tags, bookmarks, and custom fields live on the clip, not in the filename. Rate and tag from the card when the Inspector is hidden. Show the pane when you want the suggestions, a rename, or the rest of the fields.
Read one clip, or edit the set
Use it on one clip when you are logging a take. Use it on the orange bar when the same tag or rating belongs on a whole group. Title is the name Skagway sorts and searches. It can differ from the file name on disk.
- Press ⌘I, or click the Inspector button in the toolbar, to show or hide the pane.
- Focus one clip. Under RATING, click a star. Click that same star again to clear it. Under TAGS, click a chip to remove it, click a From the name suggestion, or click Add tags and choose one. Type a new name and press Return to create a tag and assign it. Right-click a tag to rename it or delete it from the library.
- Press Return, or right-click → Edit Title…, to change the display name. The file on disk keeps its name. Rename File… is the command that changes the name on disk.
- Select two or more clips first if the edit should hit all of them. The bar turns orange and reads N Videos Selected. The value you set replaces that field on every clip in the selection.
- Click one selected clip when you want to look at it alone. The bar turns light blue and shows that clip’s name. Click it again, or click N Videos, to go back to editing the set.
Titles, tags, ratings, and batch edits are on the Organize page. See Organize.
