<<my clip crouton alias feature suggestion is an early casualty.>>
Awwww, shucks.
But how about a QUICK replacement of the existing crouton image for a clip.
Seems like that would be extrodinarily simple.

I'll second that!
The re-copying of clips (cutting room) is a tediously innefective but crucial
function!
Chuck, ya gotta give us -some- way to avoid this — changing crouton images
and/or names shoulx*
be sim {xD { { {simple! (line noise!)
<<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,
I don't want to change the name of the -clip-, but the clip's duplicate in the
project screen. Obviously, changing the crouton -and- name would be b est, with
a way of identify {ing it as a dupe of another clip (with different in and out
points).
I think you know how important this is, and I hope Chuck/Newtek haven't
abandonded this idea !
I can pass your comments regarding icon image change and crouton alias to the
product team.
Chuck.
