Elements in the Timeline Window
Name Element Function
Vertical
scroll bars
Scroll the video and audio tracks separately. Use the
thumb tabs between the scroll controls to create a
static area in the center of the Timeline. Drag the
thumb tabs up or down to define static track
boundaries. Defining static tracks allows you to
scroll through layers without losing view of your
base tracks. Use the center tab to move the static
area up or down in the window.
Timeline ruler Displays the timecode for the current sequence as
well as the sequence In and Out points.
Playhead Reflects the chronological position in the sequence
of the frame displayed in the Canvas. Dragging the
playhead scrubs through the sequence. Clicking in
the Timeline ruler moves the playhead to that
location. The playhead in the Timeline is equivalent
to the playhead in the Canvas. Both playheads move
in concert.
Current time
indicator
Indicates the position of the playhead. Entering a
timecode moves the playhead. This is analogous to
the playhead position timecode boxes in the Viewer
and Canvas.
Sequence tabs Appear for each sequence opened in the Timeline.
Click the tab to make its sequence active.
Render Quality
pop-up menu
Switch between the available render quality
settings, which determine the video resolution and
other render options for the sequence. You can also
edit the render qualities.
Render
status bar
Indicates which parts of the sequence have been
rendered at the current render quality. Red
indicates that the area needs to be rendered.
Clips Appear as solid bars or as video frames depending
on options specified on the Timeline Options tab in
the Sequence Settings dialog box. Clips that have
clip visibility turned off appear dimmed in the
Timeline. Clips on locked tracks are cross-hatched
in the Timeline.
