line extends from the playhead to the bottom of the time ruler. You can change the current time by dragging the
playhead.
Current time display Shows the timecode for the current frame in a Timeline panel. To move to a different time, click
in the time display and enter a new time, or place the pointer over the display and drag left or right. You can change the
display between timecode and the simple frame count by Ctrl-clicking (Windows) or command-clicking (Mac OS) the
current time in either a monitor or a Timeline panel.
Zoom scroll bar Located at the bottom of the Timeline panel, this bar corresponds with the visible area of the time ruler
in the Timeline. The Source Monitor and Program Monitor also have zoom scroll bars. You can drag the handles to
change the width of the bar and change the scale of the time ruler.
Important notes
• Expanding the bar to its maximum width reveals the entire duration of the time ruler. Contracting the bar zooms
in for a more detailed view of the ruler. Expanding and contracting the bar is centered on the playhead.
• By positioning the mouse over the bar, you can scroll the mouse wheel to expand and contract the bar. You can also
scroll the mouse wheel in the areas outside of the bars for the same expanding and contracting behavior.
• By dragging the center of the bar, you can scroll the visible part of a time ruler without changing its scale. When you
drag bar, you are not moving the playhead, however, you can move the bar and then click in the time ruler to move
the playhead to the same area as the bar.
• Gestures for Mac OS are supported for the zoom scroll bar.
Work area bar Specifies the area of the sequence that you want to render previews, or to define a region you plan to
export. The work area bar is located in the lower portion of the time ruler. You can drag the edges of the work area bar,
or use keyboard shortcuts to set the work area in a sequence. For details, see
Define the work area for rendering.
The work area bar is not visible by default. To return the work area bar to the Timeline, enable it from the panel menu
by selecting Work Area Bar. When the work area bar is enabled, commands for Render Effects in Work Area, and
Render Entire Work Area are available in the Sequence menu. You can now use In and Out points for most things the
Work Area does, so you can keep it hidden and use In and Out points for rendering an area of the Timeline, or for
marking an area to export for encoding.
Zoom controls Change the scale of the time ruler to increase or decrease the number of frames visible within the
current viewing area. The zoom controls are located at the bottom left of a Timeline panel.
Source track indicator Represents a video or audio track of the clip in the Source Monitor. Place into the head of the
Timeline track where you want to insert or overwrite the source clip track.
