Replace Clip: Performs a replace edit to the Timeline with whatever clip is
in the Source Viewer.
Snapping: Enables or disables clip snapping. When turned on, clip In and Out points,
markers, and the playhead all snap to one another for reference while you’re editing.
Linked Selection: Enables or disables audio/video linking. When turned on, clicking a
video clip in the Timeline automatically selects the corresponding audio clip if theyre
linked together. When turned off, clicking a video clip won’t select its audio. Clip linking
can be toggled while you work by pressing the Option key while clicking to make
selections in the Timeline.
Position Lock: Prevents clips from being moved to the left or right, and it prevents all
ripple operations. Essentially ensures all the Timeline elements stay in sync and can’t
be adjusted accidentally.
Flag Clip/Flag Colors drop-down menu: Flags identify clips, and indicate all clips that
correspond to the same item of media in the Media Pool. Clips can have multiple flags.
Clicking the Flag button automatically adds a flag to whichever clip is currently selected
in the Timeline. A drop-down menu to the right lets you choose differently colored
flags, and clear all flags from the currently selected clip.
Add Marker/Marker Colors drop-down menu: Markers identify specific frames
of individual clips. Clicking the Add Marker button adds a marker of the currently
displayed color to the clip at the position of the playhead in the Timeline. A drop-down
menu to the right lets you choose differently colored markers, and clear all markers
from the currently selected clip.
Full Extent Zoom: Dynamically adjusts the zoom level to encompass the whole
Timeline as you add or remove clips.
Detail Zoom: Zooms the Timeline in on the Playhead to the frame level.
Custom Zoom: Zooms the Timeline to the level selected by the Zoom slider to its
immediate right.
Zoom slider: Lets you zoom into or out of the clips in the Timeline. Use the scroll wheel
of your mouse to horizontally zoom into and out of the Timeline. Scrolling up zooms
in, while scrolling down zooms out. You can also use Command-Plus to zoom in, and
Command-Minus to zoom out, and Shift-Z to fit every clip in your program into the
available width of the Timeline.
These functions are described in greater detail in the following sections of this chapter.
Toolbar Audio Monitoring Controls
At the far right of the toolbar, a set of three monitoring controls lets you quickly control the
output volume of your mix. An audio Enable/Disable button lets you turn audio playback on and
off, while a slider lets you change the volume, and a DIM button lets you temporarily duck the
monitored volume being output in order to have a quick chat with your client about sports or
the state of the world while keeping half an ear on the mix.
The monitoring controls in the Edit page
When there are multiple audio Mains defined for a project, an additional drop-down dialog
appears with the audio monitoring controls in the toolbar that lets you choose which Main
you’re listening to.
