I think that "footage" is sometimes used in a broader <span
id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span>acceptation</span></span>
(e.g. in After Effects), but if you use "media" internally, it's
definitely preferable.<br>

I think the best is to stick to terminologies used in other established editors,

+1 ; but from what I get, mainstream applications manage to have
less ambiguity by having a less extensive use of the word "Clip" :
e.g., in Final Cut Pro, "proxy clips" are called "proxy media".<br>
<br>
So would you think that changing (bin) "Clip" to "Media" would be
useful and worth it? <br>
