View file and recording details for a clip

Press M in preview or click the Info button in the panel to open the Info section. You can also choose Show clip details from the right-click menu.

Information group	Rows
File	File (original name), Path (folder it’s in), Size, Added.
Frame	Resolution, Frame rate, Codec, Length; if available, Color (for example, “10-bit 4:2:2 · S-Log3”, “HDR (HLG)”, “Apple Log”), Bitrate, and Audio (for example, “Stereo · 48 kHz”, “2 tracks”).
Recording	Camera, Shooting (date); if available, Recording settings, Timecode, Location, and Camera mark (count).
Library	Duplicates (how many copies there are), Exported (“Exported” or “Not exported yet”), Disk (connected, not connected, or—if the file should be on your Mac’s disk but isn’t there—Not found).

The Copy button appears only on the File, Path, and Timecode rows. Use Show in Finder to go to the folder containing the file.

The date in the Added row is the date the file was modified on disk, not the recording date. The recording date appears in the Shooting row. They may not be the same.

Rows without information aren’t shown. Not every camera and file has the same information.

Location

If the clip has location information, the Location row shows the city, country, and coordinates together, for example, Istanbul, Türkiye · 41.0082° N, 28.9784° E. If the city isn’t known, only coordinates appear.

• Location is read from these sources: iPhone, Android phones, the sidecar .SRT file from DJI drones, and GoPro telemetry.
• Merceq looks up the city name in a list built into the app (279 cities). If the clip is more than 75 km from a city on the list, only the coordinates appear.
• Merceq finds city names without an internet connection. When you click the Open in Maps icon, the location opens in the Maps app; an internet connection may be used at that point.

Find options for filtering and searching by location in Section 5.

Recording settings

Recording settings is a single row, for example, ISO 800 · 1/50 · f/2.8 · 24 mm · FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM II. Values the file doesn’t provide aren’t shown. If there are none, the row is hidden.

Camera	Information read
DJI	ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and focal length from the sidecar .SRT file.
Sony cinema cameras	ISO, shutter speed, aperture, focal length, and lens from the M01.XML sidecar file beside the clip.
iPhone	Lens and 35 mm equivalent focal length.
GoPro	ISO and shutter speed from telemetry.

• For DJI and iPhone, focal length is the 35 mm equivalent.
• These aren’t read: Sony FX3 and A series, Canon, Panasonic, Insta360; also EV and white balance.
• This information is read during import. Reimporting alone won’t fill in missing recording details for clips already in your library.

Camera marks

Marks that cameras such as GoPro, DJI, and Insta360 put in the file while recording are read only when the Link plugin is on. They’re separate from the scenes you create.

• You’ll see diamond-shaped marks on the timeline.
• A {kamera} marks row appears in the panel (for example, “GoPro marks”). Click a time to go to that moment in the video.
• The Camera mark row in the Recording group of Info shows the number of marks.

For a long recording split into parts by GoPro, when Link is on, a line such as “Part 2/3 of recording · full length …” appears below the Lens information. This line doesn’t appear in preview.
