Chapter 6 Viewer Basics 83
II
Important: Clips may not play back smoothly if you zoom in on them so far that part of
the image is obscured, and you see scroll bars to the right and below the Viewer
windows. Other windows blocking the Viewer will also affect playback. Choosing a screen
layout or pressing Shift-Z are easy ways to remedy playback quality in this situation.
View Pop-Up Menu
You can choose various options from this pop-up menu for how you view your clips
and sequences in the Viewer.
 Image, Image+Wireframe, or Wireframe mode: Image is the default, and simply shows
the video of your clip or sequence as it plays back. Image+Wireframe is useful when
you’re using motion effects or compositing. Each video layer in the Viewer has a
bounding box with handles (or a wireframe) that can be used to adjust that clips size,
rotation, and position. Wireframe mode shows only the bounding box and handles of
each clip in your sequence, without the corresponding image. For more information
on using motion effects, see Volume III, Chapter 12, “Changing Motion Parameters.”
You can also refer to Volume III, Chapter 13, Adjusting Parameters for Keyframed
Effects.” For information on compositing, see Volume III, Chapter 18, “Compositing
and Layering.”
 Overlays: Final Cut Pro provides translucent visual cues, called overlays, that help you
easily recognize certain parts of your edit in the Viewer, such as the markers and In
and Out points of clips in your sequence.
Note: To view overlays such as title safe and timecode overlays, you need to enable
this option.
 Title and action safe overlays: These show you the boundaries within which you need
to keep your graphics and text so they’ll appear when the sequence is played back
on television. For more information, see Volume III, Chapter 22, “Creating Titles.”
 Timecode overlays: These overlays display the source timecode for clips and are color-
coded to show which items are in sync. For more information, see “About Timecode
Overlays and Sync Color Codingon page 106.
 Excess luma: This overlay indicates whether the luma levels of your footage are
acceptable for broadcast. For more information, see Volume III, Chapter 20, “Color
Correcting Clips.”
