—
Direct Method
This direct-access method simply requires the operator to double-click the mouse cursor on the given clip attribute within the Mira Explorer
clip directory listing. The text field for the given parameter will then change to become a selectable entry field or pull-down menu (only
when multiple items are available).
NOTE:
Not all of the fields visible in Mira Explorer can be modified with this direct method of modification
—simply because some of the parameters don’t make any
sense to change. You cannot
change the “
Length
”, “
Standard
”, “
Tracks
” or “
Lock
” parameters.
NOTE:
If the clip you are attempting to modify is locked (
“locked” icon
is visible), then it is not possible to modify that clip. Please refer to the procedure to unlock the
clip, found starting on page 113 below.
Modify text-entry data fields:
1.
Click mouse once on “
Comments
” field for
one of the clips in clip directory listing.
2.
Click mouse twice on “
Comments
” field for
one of the clips in clip directory listing; this
provides data entry for that field.
A cursor appears within the entry field.
3.
Type desired data.
4.
Press
on QWERTY keyboard.
NOTE:
If the data entered creates a text string longer
than the displayed width of the field, the “
…
” symbol appears at the end of the text string. All of the
text is actually stored, but it’s not all displayed. You can position the mouse cursor at the column title boundary, and then
click and drag the column
separator to increase its width.
Please refer
to the procedure “
