Navigating Using the Color Page
Timeline
The Color page Timeline consists of two parts that work together, the Thumbnail Timeline and
the Mini Timeline. These work together to let you examine and navigate the Timeline of your
program in different ways.
The Color page Timeline
The scroll bar for the Mini-Timeline is independent of the scroll bar for the Thumbnail Timeline,
and both can be set to show different ranges of clips. Using the scroll control of your pointing
device lets you zoom into or out of the Mini-Timeline. When zoomed all the way out, the
Mini-Timeline displays the entire timeline within the available width of the screen, making it a
fast way of navigating the entire program from the beginning to the end. However, you can
zoom into a particular section when you need more information about how an intricate
arrangement of superimposed clips are organized while you’re grading.
Thumbnail Timeline
Provides a concise visual representation of your project where each clip is a single numbered
thumbnail, regardless of its duration. Clicking a thumbnail moves the playhead to the first frame
of that clip, while using the Up/Down Arrow keys moves the selection to the previous or next
clip. Whichever clip is at the current position of the playhead appears with its thumbnail outlined
in orange. The scroll wheel of your pointing device lets you scroll backward and forward
through the thumbnail timeline.
The Color page Thumbnail Timeline
Each thumbnail displays a variety of information above and below it, including a rainbow outline
around the number of graded clips, the clip format, file name, or grading version text below
each thumbnail, tracking or stabilization badges, flag badges, and link badges to indicate clip
groups or automatic remote grade linking, where existent.
Mini-Timeline
Shows a miniature representation of the Timeline in the Edit page, where each clip’s width is
proportional to its duration, and superimposed clips are shown on top of one another. The
Mini-Timeline can show a maximum of six video tracks; if your edit uses more, a scroll bar lets
you change which tracks are displayed. Clicking a clip in the Mini-Timeline selects that clip and
moves the playhead to its first frame.
