Timeline Mode
The Timeline Mode allows you to fine tune effects and perform
frame-accurate trimming and editing. The Timeline Mode shows
exactly when and where events in your story occur based on the
position of clips in each track. Clips are simply dragged from the
Library to the Timeline. They are displayed here as short sequences.
The length of a clip accurately represents its duration in your
project. The ruler units, represented by timecodes, can be adjusted
to give you precise control over trimming and editing. Use the
Zoom controls or click the Ruler menu to adjust the ruler units.
Click Fit project in window to see the entire project displayed on
one screen. If you have a mouse with a scroll button, the scroll
button can be used to scroll through the timeline.
