Newbie Movie Studio question

I'm new to Vegas (Movie Studio Platinum 8 version of Vegas), and I can't understand how to access trim information about a clip. If I drag the front and/or end of a clip on the timeline to shorten it, I want to later be able to see this information so I could reproduce the in/outs in a different program.
Many thanks.
 
I am not sure what you are saying, but if you want precise info, you put a clip alone in a timeline track, and then you note the number of frame you are currently on when you trim it. That info is under the preview window.
 
Eugenia thanks for replying. I don't really mean putting an isolated clip on the timeline, shortening the front and then reading off the difference of the new in point (relative to the zero point of the timeline start). I'm thinking more of a normal editing situation: having tens of different clips, each with their in/outs changed and butted-up hard against each other on the timeline. When I'm happy with the trims I would like to later select a clip and be able to read somewhere it's trimmed in/out (relative to the clips original length, not relative to its position on the timeline). I can do this on other NLEs (such as Edit Studio Pro), but can't find the equivalent in Movie Studio. In fact, I can't see the file name of a clip on the timeline either, which makes things a bit difficult. I don't need a proper EDL, I would just like to be able to manually record a clip's in/out times so that I can reproduce a cut sequence in another program using the original files (I need the in/outs in order to do this).
Many thanks.
 
Not sure if Vegas Movie Studio has it, but look under View (toolbar) -- is "Edit Details" listed? If so, check it.
 
In View/Active take information, you get the name of the file Vegas is addressing. However: View/Edit details menu does not exist in Movie Studio (must be Pro-only version). Thanks everyone for your help.
