For example, you can determine whether a clip you exported has an appropriate data rate for Internet distribution. Video file properties can include file size, number of video and audio tracks, duration, average frame rate, audio sample rate, video data rate, and compression settings. In addition, they include information about dropped frames in captured clips.

  2. Do any of the following:

    • To change the width of a column, position the pointer over a dividing line between column headings until the Column Resize icon appears. Then, drag horizontally.

    • To create a column, right-click and choose Edit Columns > select Add, and select a column name (after which the new column appears). Type a name, select a type for the new column, and select OK. Text columns can contain any text you enter. Boolean columns provide a checkbox.

    • To sort columns in ascending or descending order, select their heading.

    • To rearrange columns, right-click, choose Edit Columns, select a column name, and select Move Up or Move Down.
