5-10 seconds of mousing around, another 10-20 seconds of mousing back to where I started, and now I've completely forgotten where I was because it took too long to find this one tiny little piece of data. So we start over and... I never get my piece done because I've spent all day mousing around trying to find basic data.
Ok, maybe not popups, or maybe optional popups, but this data needs to be much more immediately available and the easiest, least intrusive, least visually polluting thing I can think of is a popup. Yes, sure, give it a 4 second delay. You don't want those things popping up whenever you move the mouse, only when you hover it over a particular clip. I'd be happy if I could get the data in one click from the clip even, but I'd rather have a hover action that went away when I hit escape or moved the mouse again - faster, easier, more natural.
