The Viewer
The Viewer lets you see clips from the Media Pool or clips in the Timeline play, 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 option 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)
Eight controls sit at the bottom of the Viewer. These let you play through and otherwise
navigate clips and the Timeline in different ways.
Clicking the Effects button reveals an Effects toolbar that you can use to add and edit clip
effects, right within the Viewer with no Inspector needed. The Effects button reveals a variety of
controls over sizing, cropping, audio, speed effects, stabilization, dynamic zoom, and
compositing, covered in more detail later in this chapter.
