7.1 Accessing the Timeline Element Properties
The properties of timeline elements can be accessed easily in the Edit
Tool. They will be shown instead of the visible audio tracks right below
the timeline area in an area of their own. To make this area visible per-
form the following:
y Call up the context menu of a timeline element present in the video
track of the timeline area.
y Then select the menu option Show properties.
The properties area will be displayed right below the timeline area in-
stead of the audio tracks. It will show you immediately the properties
of the selected element where the context menu was invoked:
Figure 7-1: Video clip properties
With the timeline element properties area visible in the user interface,
you can display the properties of every timeline element as soon as it is
selected in the video track. Thus fast editing operations can be per-
formed easily in the Edit Tool without laboriously calling the properties
of each element again.
Alternatively, you can double-click the timeline element in
the timeline to call up the properties.
To view changes to an effect with the overlay of the control
area immediately make sure that the timeline cursor is posi-
tioned on the clip where the effect was added.
