8.7 Conforming Mode – The Preview Area
With the conforming mode of the Edit Tool’s control area activated, the
result of your work on the timeline/EDL can be reviewed and moni-
tored in the preview area. It can be found at the right-hand side of the
conforming mode and switched between a view of the timeline and the
selected EDL:
Figure 8-41: The preview area
At the top of the preview area you can find a video overlay showing
you the contents of the timeline/EDL. Additionally, a scrub bar is pro-
vided below the video overlay as well as preview controls, both allow-
ing you to move within the displayed contents. At the very bottom
some text information can be found detailing properties of the currently
displayed clip.
With the preview area you can view either the clips assembled in the
timeline or the clips of the EDL. Furthermore, it can be used in a split
screen operation (see section “Working with Split Screen” on
page 8-64) and to resolve multiple search results found during con-
forming (status ’Multiple found’, see section “Multiple Search Results”
on page 8-19).
