What preferred method is used for viewing clip properties in panels other than the Project panel?

The preferred method for viewing clip properties in panels, aside from the Project panel, is to right-click (or Control-click on Mac OS) and choose Properties. This approach is streamlined and user-friendly, offering immediate access to relevant information without navigating through multiple menus.

When you right-click on a clip in the timeline or other panels, a context menu appears that allows you to quickly access the Properties option. This is particularly beneficial for editing workflows, as it provides fast access to essential clip details such as duration, file path, and other metadata, thereby enhancing efficiency for video editors.

The other methods outlined involve additional steps or may not even be available in all panels, making them less practical for quickly checking clip properties. Using the Media Browser, for instance, is primarily meant for importing and managing media rather than for reviewing clip attributes within existing projects.
