Chapter 8 Navigating and Using Timecode in the Viewer and Canvas 107

Viewing Timecode Overlays

Timecode overlay display is overridden by the Show Overlays command in the View

menu. If you turn on timecode overlays and then turn off Show Overlays (so there is no

checkmark next to it in the View menu), this also turns off the timecode overlays.

To view timecode overlays:

1 Make the Viewer, Canvas, or Timeline active, depending on where you want to see the

timecode overlays.

Note: Overlays in the Viewer can be set independently from those in the Canvas.

2 Choose View > Show Overlays, so there’s a checkmark next to it.

3 Do one of the following:

Â Choose View > Show Timecode Overlays.

Â Press Option-Z.

Information Displayed by Timecode Overlays

Timecode overlays give you an “at-a-glance” view of a wide variety of information

about your clip in the Viewer or sequence in the Timeline.

Â Timecode numbers of In and Out points: These appear in the upper-left and upper-

right corners of the Canvas and Viewer. If one or both of these have not been set,

these values display Not Set. In the Viewer, clip In and Out points are shown. In the

Canvas, sequence In and Out points are shown.
