Edit cells in the Project panel
You can edit the data in the editable cells, whether for clip properties or XMP metadata, for any clip in the Project
panel. Premiere Pro stores data written to XMP metadata cells in the source files. However, it stores data written to
clip properties cells in the project file, not into the source files. Clip properties data do not travel with the source files,
and they are readable only by Premiere Pro.
By default, the Project panel displays only the clip properties. To write data that Premiere Pro stores in the source files,
first add metadata columns to the Project panel display. See
Do one of the following:
1
• In the List View of the Project panel, click an icon to the left of a filename to select a clip. Press Tab repeatedly, until
the desired editable cell is highlighted, and switched to editing mode.
• Click in an editable cell.
2 Type the data you want to replace the data already in the cell, if any.

• To save the new data, and to highlight the previous cell for the same clip, press Shift+Tab.
• To save the new data, and to highlight the same cell in the next clip, press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).
• To save the new data, and to highlight the same cell in the previous clip, press Shift+Enter (Windows), or
Shift+Return (Mac OS).
Note: In Icon View of the Project panel, press Tab to highlight the filename of the next asset and to place it in editing mode.
Viewing clip properties
Premiere Pro includes clip analysis tools that you can use to evaluate a file in any supported format stored inside or
outside a project. For example, after producing a video clip to be streamed from a web server, you can use clip analysis
tools to determine whether a clip you exported has an appropriate data rate for Internet distribution.
The Properties panel provides detailed information about any clip. For video files, analyzed properties can include the
file size, number of audio channels, duration, frame rate, audio sample rate, average data rate, and codecs. The
Properties panel will not show all these properties for every clip. The data shown in the Properties panel is determined
by the file format of the clip being examined.

> Selection.
