Much valuable information appears above and below each thumbnail, such as each clip’s clip

number, source timecode, track number, whether it’s been flagged, whether it’s automatically

linked or part of a group, whether it’s been tracked, and so on.

A clip thumbnail in the

Thumbnail timeline

What’s displayed underneath each thumbnail can be changed by double-clicking the space

underneath each thumbnail. There are several options; you can keep double-clicking to cycle

among them:

 Clip format or codec (the default)

 Clip Name (clip name or file name, depending on what View > Show File Name is set to)

or Multicam Angle (if you’re working with multicam clips)

 Version name or number

Mini-Timeline

Underneath, the Mini-Timeline shows a small representation of the video tracks of the Timeline

in the Edit page wherein each clip is as long as its actual duration. This provides the best

representation of the structure of the current timeline, in which clip length shows duration and

multiple tracks are displayed, so you can see which clips are superimposed. A Timeline Ruler

lets you scrub the playhead across multiple clips and can be zoomed out enough to show every

clip in your entire program.

The Mini-Timeline lets you see timeline structure, and small track header controls let you enable

tracks, disable tracks, and set the playhead to ignore specific tracks

Small track labels at the left of each track in the Mini-Timeline let you enable or disable tracks

by clicking them (enabled tracks have white labels, disabled tracks have gray labels). Option-

clicking one of these controls sets that track to be enabled but ignored by the playhead when

you use the Next and Previous Clip commands, in the event you want to ignore clips you don’t

need to grade (tracks in this mode show a red label).

Within the Mini-Timeline the currently selected clip is highlighted in orange, and you can click

any clip to select it. A scroll bar at the bottom lets you navigate to the left and right, while using

the scroll wheel of your mouse zooms in and out. The Mini-Timeline shows at most six tracks of

video. If your project has more tracks than that, you can scroll up and down to reveal the hidden

tracks. Any markers that were placed on clips or the Timeline in the Edit page appear here, and

you can click any marker to reveal and edit its color and notes.
