Rename a Clip in the Library

Clips you import into the Library retain their original file names, which are often non descriptive and difficult to use in a video editing project. By using an alias, you can rename any clip in the Library to better suit your project. (For example, you may wish to use the alias "first video clip" instead of "video_005.mpg.)

To rename a clip using an alias, do this:

1. Right-click the clip you want to rename and select Use Alias.

2. Enter a name and press Enter on your keyboard or click outside the name box. The clip appears in the Library using the alias.
