The Viewer
The Viewer lets you see clips from the Media Pool, or clips in the Timeline, and has numerous
controls to control what you see and how things play.
The single Viewer in the Cut page
The Viewer has three options. Which option is currently in use can be seen, and switched, by
three buttons in the upper lefthand corner of the Viewer.
The Viewer modes buttons
Different options are entered automatically by various actions:
You can double-click any clip to open it into the Viewer as a Source Clip (the left button)
You can view an entire bin full of clips in the Source Tape (the middle button)
You can play your edited program in the Timeline (the right button)
Playing Clips and Navigating the Timeline
Eight controls sit at the bottom of the Viewer. These let you play through and otherwise
navigate clips and the Timeline in different ways. These controls are described from left to right.
The toolbar at the bottom of the Viewer
Fast Review button: Intended to help you watch through a large collection of media
quickly, clicking this button begins accelerated playback through the Source Tape or
through the Timeline, where the speed of playback is relative to the length of each clip
you’re playing through. Long clips play faster, whereas shorter clips play closer to real
time. In this way, you can watch a lot of material really quickly.
Effects button: The Effects button reveals a variety of controls for transform, crop,
audio, speed effects, camera stabilization and lens correction, dynamic zoom, and
compositing, covered in more detail later in this chapter.
