Using the Lightbox
The Lightbox shows you all clips in the Timeline as a grid of thumbnails, arranged in rows from
left to right and top to bottom. This lets you quickly evaluate, compare, and search for clips you
want to use when making selections, creating groups, flagging clips, or when scanning for a
particular scene or looking for an individual clip.
The Color page Lightbox displays all the clips in the Timeline
At the right of the Lightbox is a vertically oriented Timeline Ruler letting you know the timecode
value at the beginning of each row of clips. At the top right is a Zoom slider that lets you change
the size of the thumbnails.
Selecting a clip in the Lightbox is the same as selecting a clip in the Timeline, and right-clicking
a clip in the Lightbox shows the same contextual menu items you’d see if you right-clicked a clip
in the Timeline. Furthermore, you can also grade the current clip in the Lightbox using a control
panel, or by exposing the color controls to grade the current clip using a mouse or other
input device.
