Movie Overview
The option "Movie Overview" in the "Window" menu enables an overview of the
entire Arranger. All objects in the Arranger will be displayed in the program monitor.
The overview display is especially recommended for work with long movies because
the reduced overview in the program monitor and the zoomed detailed view in the
Arranger present a good combination.
The movie overview can be used for moving around in the movie and for editing
certain parts:
• When you click on a certain object in the program monitor, the Arranger will
zoom into that object.
• You can use the mouse to draw a frame in the preview monitor – the
corresponding section will be zoomed in the Arranger.
• When you move the playback marker in the program monitor, the Arranger
playback marker will also move correspondingly.
Tip: If you use this option very often, then try using the corresponding keyboard
shortcut ("Shift + A").
Monitor zoom
The preview images of both monitors may be zoomed in and out to examine specific
details in the image more closely (zoom in) or to reduce the image so that black
edges result for use of animations (view page 151).
• Cl
ick on the preview monitor and zoom out of the video image by holding down
"Ctrl" and using mouse wheel.
Transport control
Both transport controls enable the video material to be played back.
Range: Change the range between the in and out points
by clicking above the playback functions.
Playback marker: This marker indicates the location of the image
currently displayed on-screen.
