Timeline
The Timeline in the Color page reflects the contents of the Timeline in the Edit page, but has a
different appearance that’s tailored to the requirements of the colorist. However, the content is
identical, and changes made to the Timeline in the Edit page are immediately seen in the Color
page as you switch back and forth. The Color page Timeline provides several ways of
navigating the clips in your project, as well as keeping track of what has been done to
which clips.
The Timeline is divided into three parts, each of which shows different information and provides
differing controls. A Timeline Ruler at the top lets you scrub the playhead across multiple clips,
and can be zoomed out enough to show every clip in your entire program. Underneath, the
Mini-Timeline (which can be opened or closed via a button at the right of the palette bar) shows
a small representation of the Timeline in the Edit page wherein each clip is as long as its actual
duration. At the bottom of the Timeline is the Thumbnail timeline, in which each clip is
represented by a single frame. The currently selected clip is outlined in orange, and information
appears above and below each thumbnail such as each clip’s source timecode, clip number
and track number, version name, whether it’s been graded, whether it’s been tracked, if it’s
been flagged, and so on.
