Working in the Viewer Timeline
The Viewer Timeline is a graphical representation of the length and time spans of an asset or sequence. The Viewer Timeline includes timing marks, a position indicator, and a zoom bar.
1 | Mark In point | 3 | Position indicator |
2 | Mark Out point | 4 | Zoom bar |
The position indicator functions as a playhead: media for the frame marked by the position indicator is displayed in the Media Viewer. You can drag the position indicator to scrub through a clip or sequence. You can click a location in the Viewer timeline to move the position indicator and display a specific frame. In Record mode, movement of the position indicator matches movement of the position indicator in the Sequence Timeline.
Timing indicators in the Viewer timeline act like marks on a ruler that represent various time spans. The time spans indicated depend on the length of the asset or sequence and the settings in the zoom bar. Timing marks indicate the following:
• 1 second
• 10 seconds
• 1 minute (60 seconds)
• 5 minutes (300 seconds)
• 1 hour (3600 seconds)
These timing marks are intended for general navigation, not navigation to a specific timecode. For information about working with timecode, see
Using the Timecode Displays.
