Filtering the Edit Index
You can use options found in the Edit Index’s option menu to filter specific things that you want
to check out, whether to go through all of the marked clips to see if there are any notes you
need to address, or to isolate all offline clips, or to go through edits to see if there’s anything
you need to fix. You can filter the Edit Index in the following ways:
 Show All: Shows all entries in the list. Choose this option after using any of the other
options to go back to seeing the entire timeline.
 Show Active Track Items: Filters out all clips that appear on tracks above or below

and the destination control is on track V2, then all clips on tracks V1 and V3 will be
hidden from the Edit Index.
