### Inspect Panel

The **Inspect Panel** in Tin Man is a dynamic metadata interface designed to provide clear, editable insight into a clip's technical and production information. It helps users review, edit, and preserve essential metadata for each media file in the File List.

#### Overview

The panel is split into two major metadata zones:

1. **Technical Metadata** – auto-populated, read-only fields based on source file analysis
2. **Editable Production Metadata** – user-adjustable fields for organizing and exporting clips effectively

#### Technical Metadata Fields

These fields are detected automatically and cannot be edited:

* **File Name** – Full name of the media file
* **Path** – Directory path on disk
* **Size** – File size (GB)
* **Duration** – Clip length in timecode
* **Frame Rate** – Frames per second (e.g., 24fps)
* **TimeCode** – SMPTE timecode with base rate (this can be edited in the Interpret Properties panel)
* **Date Created** – File creation date
* **Video Codec** – Detected video compression format
* **Resolution** – Full raster + pixel aspect ratio (e.g., 5792x4854 (2.00))
* **Field Type** – Progressive or Interlaced
* **Color Space** – Source color encoding and gamma (e.g., Sony S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3)
* **Audio Codec** – Sample resolution and frequency
* **Channels** – Number of audio channels and track distribution
* **Camera Make, Camera Model, Camera SN, Camera Firmware, Aperture, Focal Length, Focus Distance, Lens Model, Lens SN, ISO, White Balance, Tint, Shutter Angle, Shutter Speed, Pan, Tilt, Roll** – Camera settings from embedded metadata (if available)

#### Editable Production Metadata

These fields can be edited per clip and are preserved across sessions via the project database:

* **Clip Name**
* **Clip Color**
* **Company**
* **Production**
* **Episode #**
* **Reel**
* **Roll/Card**
* **Sound Roll #**
* **Clip #**
* **Scene**
* **Shot**
* **Take**
* **Good Take**
* **Shoot Day**
* **Comments**
* **Description**
* **Director**
* **DP**
* **Location**
* **Int/Ext**
* **Day/Night**
* **Keywords**
* **Camera Name**
* **Camera Operator**

Individual rows can be hidden to customize the view. Right-click in the panel and select "Choose Rows" to bring up the Row customize window.
