Editing Video
Using the Timeline window
The
Timeline
is a time-based view of your program where you can select, arrange, and modify
the instances of the source clips you’ve used in the video program. The Timeline graphically
shows the placement of each clip in time, its duration, and its relationship to the other clips
in the program.
Moving around in the Timeline
The
time ruler
at the top of the Timeline displays the current time position of the edit line and
any markers that have been set in the Timeline (see “Using markers” on page 153). From the
time ruler, you can view the In and Out points of each clip and the duration of the entire video
program. When you do anything that repositions the edit line, such as clicking the Next Frame
button, you change the current frame in the Monitor Program view.
To move the edit line in the Timeline:
Do any of the following:
•
In the Timeline, drag the edit line or click the ruler.
•
In the Monitor window, type timecode into the program controller, or drag the jog tread
or shuttle slider.
•
In the Monitor window, click a button in the Program controller. See “Using Monitor
window controllers” on page 134.
•
In the Navigator palette, press and hold Shift as you drag within the representation of the
Timeline, or click the timecode and type new timecode using the numeric keypad.
