Table Of Contents
If you turn this checkbox off, reel name is ignored, and all clips in the Timeline are sorted only
by source timecode. This may result in clips from multiple sources being mixed together, but it is
useful in specific situations.
For example, when grading dailies from a three camera shoot, you may want to see consecutive
clips from all three cameras lined up one after the other on the Timeline, so that Cam1_Shot1,
Cam2_Shot1, and Cam3_Shot1 appear first, followed by Cam1_Shot2, Cam2_Shot2, and
Cam3_Shot2, and so on. In this situation, you don’t want clips from cameras 2 and 3 to be
placed at the end of the Timeline simply because of their reel name.
Flags, Clip Colors, and Markers
You have the option of flagging or marking clips in the Color page just like you can in the Edit
page, in order to keep track of specific media or frames that you may need to do something to
later. For example, you could flag every closeup of a particular actor with a blemish that you
want to spend some time fixing with a green flag.
Methods of flagging, changing colors, and marking clips in the Color page:
To add a flag to a clip: Move the playhead to a clip in the Mini-Timeline, and choose
a color from the Mark > Add Flag submenu, or Right-click any clip’s thumbnail, and
choose a flag color from the Flags submenu. Flags are not frame-specific, so flagging
one clip will result in flags also being placed on all other clips that share the same
source media in the Media Pool.
To remove all of a clip’s flags: Move the playhead to a clip in the Mini-Timeline, and
choose Mark > Clear Flags, or right-click a clip’s thumbnail and choose Flags > Clear All.
To change the clip color: Move the playhead to a clip in the Mini-Timeline, and choose
a color from the Mark > Set Clip Color submenu, or Right-click any clip’s thumbnail, and
choose a color from the Clip Color submenu. Clip Colors are clip-specific.
To remove a clip’s color: Move the playhead to a clip in the Mini-Timeline, and choose
Mark > Set Clip Color > Clear Color, or right-click a clip’s thumbnail and choose Clip
Color > Clear Color.
To mark a frame of a clip: Right-click a clip’s thumbnail and choose a marker color from
the Marker submenu.
To remove a single marker: Right-click a clip’s thumbnail and choose Delete Marker
from the Marker’s submenu. Alternately, you can select the marker in the Mini-Timeline,
and press the Delete key.
To remove all of a clip’s markers: Right-click that clip and choose Clear All from the
Markers submenu.
Timeline Filtering
A drop-down button to the right of the Clips button at the top right of the Color page Interface
Toolbar presents preset options for dynamically filtering which clips are shown in the Timeline.
This allows you hide all the other clips in the Timeline except for the subset on which you want
to focus.
