The Object
In the case of a Timeline clip, you can open the FX Properties dialog box from the clip’s
shortcut menu. For more information, see
“FX Properties” on page 10-82.
Preparing for Editing: Storyboarding
A storyboard is used to roughly outline the course of an editing job. Using Picons, you can
quickly put together a Sequence to get a rough idea of what a film will look like. With the Picon
Play function and Clip Viewer, you can view and edit clips. Afterwards you can transfer your sto-
ryboard Sequence for fine editing to the Timeline or Source Viewer with the Send To Timeline
function or with drag&drop.

Storyboarding on the Desktop
You c a n ar r a n g e Picons on the desktop in any way you like. Drag clips from a Rack (or Racks) to
the desktop to begin arranging them.
The Picons that appear are Shortcuts (represented by the arrow icon in their bottom left-hand
corner). This means that any changes you make to the clips also affect the clips in the Rack (for
example, if you define new mark-in and mark-out points they will also appear changed in the
original clip).
