Missing names of files in timeline

Stephen-Shelton wrote on 7/5/2021, 3:18 PM

Hi, sorry, this is probably a real dumb basic question and probably just ticking some box somewhere, but I've looked and looked and damned if I can see it and can't find answer on www. In the timeline I load files and I always used to have the file name displayed, and for some reason it has disappeared, gone blank. How do I get it displayed again please? (btw I have deliberately taken thumbnails off, not to show, been running like that for ages but I used to have the file name displayed without thumbnails on)

View – Active Take Information

I owe you again Marco. Thank you so much. I have to say in my defence 'Active Take Information' isn't the most obvious name of the function, but I know it now! 🙂👍

" 'Active Take Information' isn't the most obvious name of the function..."

It probably makes a lot more sense when working with audio that you've manipulated a number of times.

@Stephen-Shelton, Every event can have one or more "Takes". The current take is the "Active" take and is the one you see. Pressing "T" will let you go through the takes. When you right-click a video file and drag it to an event, one of the options is "Add as Take" which would let you go through the various takes on that event. So what you are seeing is the "Active Take" and, therefore, you want to see the "Active Take Information". Does the name make more sense now?
