viewed clips are listed in the Source menu, a pop-up menu accessed by clicking the
triangle next to the current clip’s name in the Source tab. The Source menu identifies
master clips by name, and clips opened from a sequence are also identified by their

Using Monitor window controls
The Source and Program views each contain a set of controls, many of which resemble
the
playback controls on a video deck. Though the playback controls in the Source view and
Program view operate in a similar manner, they serve slightly different purposes:
• Use the Source controls (under the Source view) to play or cue a clip, set clip markers,
and specify the clip’s source In and Out points, which define the portion of the clip that
will be added to the sequence.
• Use the Program controls (under the Program view) to play or view the active sequence,
to set sequence markers, and to specify a sequence’s In and Out points, which define
where frames will be added or removed from the sequence.

Simply click the video image in the view you want to activate. When a view is active, the
Monitor window displays blue bars above and below the video display area.
You can also view frames by using the Monitor window’s time display. The number at the
bottom left of each view’s video shows the current time for that view. The number next to
the Duration icon below each view’s video indicates duration. The duration is the time
difference between the In point and the Out point set for the corresponding view. When
no In point is set, the starting time of the clip (for the Source view duration) or of the
