the default setting is thumbnail and filename. the hotkey is shift f5.
or you can select thumbnail and title. if the clip doesn't have a title assigned, this option shows the file's name without the file type extension. the hotkey is shift t.
you can see additional information with the thumbnail images by selecting view ] thumbnail and note shift f6
or view ] thumbnail and detail. shift f7.
you can also view the clip information in text form only, without the thumbnail image, by selecting view ] detailed text. shift f8.
adjust the width of the columns in thumbnail and detail and detailed text mode by hovering the mouse over the dividers between two column headers.
when the cursor changes to a vertical line with arrows going left and right, press the left mouse button and hold it down. drag it left or right to change the position of the dividing line between those two columns.
each of these except the detailed text mode can be displayed with the thumbnail at one of three sizes:
small
shift f1
medium
shift f2
large
shift f3
customizing your columns in detailed text mode
there are two ways in which you can adjust the appearance of your galleries in these two modes:
scale the column width.
define the order and content of the columns.
to adjust the column widths, place the mouse over the divider between two columns, hold the mouse down and drag the mouse left and right until the column is the width you want. then release the mouse button.
to choose items for column headers, and to determine their order, fight click in the gallery and choose configure column text. a window opens:
to add an item to the columns that will appear in a detail view, select it in the left list, and press the ]] button to add it to the right list. to remove an item, click on it in the right side and press the [[ button. an item can appear multiple times, or not at all.
to change the order of columns, select the item you wish to move and press the up arrow or the down arrow to switch it with the item above it or below it.
viewing clips in a gallery
the clips in the gallery are normally seen as thumbnails -- stamp-sized images used to represent clips. for audio clips the thumbnail shows a waveform. you can change the size of the thumbnail by selecting view ] size and choosing either small, medium or large.
click the thumbnail image to play the video clip. double click to open the clip in preview/trim window, or click the file name to select the clip without playing it
a thumbnail image conveys a great deal of information about a clip. in the top left corner of the thumbnail is a dot that indicates what type of clip it is.
white dot = clip contains an alpha channel (32bit).
orange dot = uncompressed.
red border around the thumbnail = missing media.
yellow triangle in the upper right hand corner (or dog ear) = highlighted clip....ex highlight used.
the clip's file name followed by a number in parentheses (for example, snowflake(2).dva) indicates that this is a copy of a clip that is already represented in the gallery.
missing clips become invalid when they don't have sufficient information to be self contained. clips could lose all their information and become invalid if dpsvelocity has shut down unexpectedly or if you open an old gallery and some of the clips from that gallery have been deleted.
live clips are represented in the gallery by a live.bmp image.
