I can't see where to edit, with the title names in the way, but need to see them at a glance. Is there an easy way to turn them on and off at will? Thanks. Ruth

Hi

I assuming you mean the file name of your video clip. Yes?

If so, you cannot hide it BUT you can rename it.

Right click the clip in the Library and select Change Alias. EDITED After Moderator post, from Reset to "Change Alias"

Hope this helps

Happy editing

Right click the clip in the Library and select Reset Alias.

Reset Alias is the WRONG information.

Hi pastelskies/Ruth,
Use Right click and select Change Alias. See displayed image guides. The data displayed for Track and Media Library differs slightly.

As the Moderator, I have Edited CubbyHouseFilms' post to show where the change was made. I have altered my own post to display the original post (quoted) made by CubbyHouseFilms.

Thank you for all this editing work to just show me pictures, but to change each file seems more work than a setting to affect all files. If I set it to no filename, I can see the track better. Thank you both for this input.
