 Jog control: Clicking and dragging within the jog control lets you scrub very precisely
through the content of the Viewer.
 Transport controls: A set of Previous Edit (Up Arrow), Stop (Spacebar), Play (Spacebar),
Next Edit (Down Arrow), and Loop Playback (Command-/) buttons constitute clickable
controls for controlling playback of clips and the Timeline. Each button has a matching
keyboard shortcut.
 Playhead timecode: A number field shows you the timecode value at the playhead of a
clip or of the Timeline to give you a numeric reference for where you are.
Clip Effects
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 for transform, crop, audio, speed effects, camera stabilization and lens correction,
dynamic zoom, and compositing, covered in more detail later in this chapter.

effects that you may have applied in the Color page and/or Fusion page in order to improve
playback performance on low power computers. Click the button to disable or reenable grading
and effects, or right-click this button to access a menu that lets you choose which things you
want this button to control.

Audio Meter
An audio meter to the right of the Viewer shows you a graphical representation of the audio
levels playing in the current clip or in the Timeline as you play through the Viewer, via animated
vertical bars that are tinted to indicate how loud the levels are:
 Green indicates safe levels
 Yellow indicates levels that are peaking at approximately safe levels
 Red indicates levels that may be peaking at levels that are too high, risking clipping the
signal and causing distortion
