Organize

Title (display name)

1. Title is the display name used for sorting, List view, and search. It can differ from the file name.
2. Press Return (or right-click → Edit Title…) to edit it.
3. Renaming the file does not change Title.

Subtitles

1. Set Subtitles in the Inspector so the badge and filters match how the video is captioned.
2. Sidecar .srt files next to the video are detected automatically — see Playback.

Rate videos

1. Select one or more videos and click a star in the RATING row.
2. Click the same star again to clear the rating.

Tag videos

1. Assigned tags appear as chips at the top of the TAGS section — click a chip to unassign it.
2. Open the Add tags blind to see your other tags; click one to assign it to the selection.
3. Type a name in the New Tag field and press Return to create a tag and assign it in one step.
4. Rename or delete a tag by right-clicking it in the Quick Filter drawer’s Tags card. Deleting removes it from every video.

Custom metadata

1. Define your own fields under Settings → Custom Metadata.
2. Field types: String, Text, Number, Date, Date & Time, and Boolean.
3. Edit values in the Inspector’s CUSTOM section for any selection.
4. Custom fields show up in search, sort, List columns, filters, collections, and export.

Edit many at once

1. Collect two or more clips (⌘-click, ⇧-click, A, or ⌘A) — the Inspector shows an orange “N Videos Selected” bar and edits apply to the whole set.
2. While scanning, arrow through clips and collect keepers without losing earlier picks — see Browse.
3. Ratings, tags, and custom values you set apply to every collected video in batch mode.
4. When collected videos have different values for a field, the Inspector shows “Multiple values” until you overwrite it.

Click a collected clip once for batch mode; click it again to edit that clip alone. See Browse.
