<<changing crouton images and/or names should be simple!>> Well the clip name can be changed in the clip Control screen. ——- NewTek, I want to make clear that there are two issues here. (1st) Adding the simple function to easily trade another image for the crouton image in the Clip window, and (2nd) adding a function which you refer to as giving an alias to croutons in the Project window. 1st — Not being able to make a simple revision of the clip crouton image stands out as a deficit in the software. The 2nd is an excellent idea, and as things are going, tomorrow I may think it's essential. Perhaps the best option might be to use the same image for each use of the clip in the project window (to let you know which clip is used) but to add a user defined label toward the bottom of the crouton that indicates the individuality of the crouton in the project. Hmmm, if the system were perfect; when you clicked on any crouton you would have the image change to a user selected image that defined the individual clip (if the user didn't opt to select another image, then no change). Why does this sound so familiar…oh yeah, that's how the Workbench icons operate. -dean
