The Modify command gives you specialized control over groups of clip information. For example, you can use the Modify command to change the name of source tapes for some or all of your clips, to change the timecode format from drop-frame to non-drop-frame, or to increment or decrement the start and end timecodes by a specified length of time for one or several clips at once.

You can apply changes with the Modify command to master clips only; subclips and sequences cannot be altered in this way. In addition, you can perform only modifications that alter the end timecodes or the tracks before capturing.
