5.2 The Scrub Bar of the Control Area
Below the video overlay a scrub bar of the timeline is available.
Figure 5-11: Timeline scrub bar
In contrast to the timeline of the timeline area where you can zoom in
and out (see chapter “The Timeline” on page 6-1), the scrub bar of the
control area always shows the complete timeline of the loaded project.
You can use the scrub bar for overview purposes or to move within your
project.
The scrub bar of the control area provides several features, for example,
different colors indicating the state of the timeline. The following fea-
tures are provided by the scrub bar:
Items of Scrub Bar Description
in dark grey Parts of the scrub bar displayed in dark grey in-
dicate parts of the timeline that are not visible
in the timeline area at the moment. You can
change the size of this part by zooming in or
out of the timeline (see section “Moving within
the Timeline” on page 6-29).
in light grey Parts in light grey show the part of the timeline
that is currently visible in the timeline area. You
can change the size of this part by zooming in
or out of the timeline. Furthermore, by moving
within the timeline you can change its position
(see also section “Moving within the Timeline”
on page 6-29).
This part can be selected directly with
the mouse and moved along the scrub
bar to switch the view of the video and
audio tracks in the timeline area to an-
other part of the timeline.
