+In order to visually aid in locating clips on the timeline that are from the same media file, you can have them auto-colored or self-colored. Auto-color is
+an automatic system to always color the files on the timeline when loaded.
+Self-color is a manual coloring requiring the user to take definitive action.
Use of this feature requires additional memory and cpu on every timeline redraw, therefore it is recommended that smaller computers leave it turned off.
For auto-color the color will be based on a hashed filename so that whenever you load this particular media, it will always have the same color on the title bar even if you use proxy.
You can also change the alpha value in the color picker and this alpha takes precedence over the current alpha slider bar value unless the color picker's alpha value is set to 1.0.
The color will only change after you click on the checkmark.
The \emph{Bar Color} option works in either Drag and Drop or Cut and Paste editing mode and also works if \textit{Autocolor assets} is not set.
-In Drag and Drop editing mode, if you select several clips and then bring up the Edits popup with the right mouse button over a track, you can use the \emph{Bar Color} option to change all of those selected to the same color.

To go back to the default colors, uncheck \textit{Autocolor assets} in Preferences, but this does not affect the specially chosen self-colored ones as they are preserved.
