Table Of Contents
Each clip and transition is shown as an individual event, each of which contains multiple
columns of information. If you re-edit a timeline, your changes are also reflected in this list. The
Edit Index is useful for creative editors that are looking for specific effects that are used in the
current timeline, or for finishing editors that need more information about a specific clip, or who
might need to filter the entire edit by specific criteria in order to troubleshoot various issues.
Navigating the Timeline Using the Edit Index
Whenever you move the Timeline playhead to intersect a clip, the Edit Index updates to show
only the clips on the video track the intersecting clip is on, and that clip’s event is highlighted in
the Edit Index. This makes it easy to see the correspondence between a clip in the Timeline
and its event, which is helpful when troubleshooting problems. There are also commands
available in the Option menu to display only clips on enabled tracks, only video clips, and only
audio clips.
Edit Index Columns
Each event populates several columns of information. These columns can be rearranged by
dragging them to the left or right, depending on what information is most important to you.
The available columns of information are:
#: The event number (which corresponds to the clip number shown in the Thumbnail
timeline of the Color page).
Reel: The reel name of the corresponding clip.
Match: Flags clips that have clip conflicts, which display a question mark in this column.
Once the clip conflict has been resolved, this flag disappears.
V: Video event.
C: The event type (C for cut, D for dissolve or transition).
Dur: A number showing the duration of a transition in frames.

position in the Timeline.
