Customizing the Edit Page
The default layout is quite efficient for a number of tasks on most displays. You can always
return to the default layout by choosing Workspace > Reset UI Layout. However, the Edit page
can be customized to create more room for specific areas of the interface to accommodate
different tasks.
To resize any area of the Edit page:
Drag the vertical or horizontal border between any two panels to enlarge one and
shrink the other.
To expand the width of the Timeline:
Click the Media Pool/Effects Library/Edit Index height button to reduce the area used
by the Media Pool, Effects Library, and/or Edit Index to shrink to half height. At this size,
the Media Pool/Effects Library/Edit Index are restricted to the top of the UI (you can
only show one at a time), and the Timeline takes up the full width of your display.
Hiding the Edit Index and the Effects Library causes the Timeline to expand to the full
width of your screen.
To resize the height of individual video or audio tracks:
Move the pointer to the top border of any video track header, or the bottom border of
any audio track header, and when it becomes a resize cursor, drag that border up or
down to resize that track. Each track can have an independent size when you do this.
To enable a full-screen timeline in Dual Screen mode:
Choose Workspace > Dual Screen > Full Screen Timeline, which causes the Timeline to
fully occupy the primary display, while the Browser, Viewers, Audio Mixer, Edit Index,
and Effects Library appear on the secondary display.
To customize the columns in the Edit Index:
To show or hide columns in the Edit Index: Right-click any column header, and choose
the column you want to show or hide from the contextual menu. Checked columns are
shown, unchecked columns are hidden.
To resize any column of the Edit Index:
Move your pointer over the divider between any two columns and drag when the
horizontal resize cursor appears.
To sort the Edit Index by any column:
Click the Option button at the top right to display all active tracks, just the video, or just
the audio tracks.
To rearrange Edit Index columns:
Drag the header of any column to the left and right to move that column.
To show and hide the Audio Meters or Audio Mixer:
Click the Mixer button in the UI toolbar.
To switch between the Audio Meters and the Audio Mixer:
Choose Meters or Mixer from the Option menu at the top right corner of the Mixer.
