How You Can Use the Viewer
The Viewer is extremely versatile. You can use the Viewer to:
• Define In and Out edit points for clips before editing them into a sequence
• Adjust audio levels and panning in the Audio tab
• Open clips within sequences to adjust durations, In and Out points, and filter parameters
Note: Changes you make to a clip opened from a sequence are applied to the clip only
in that sequence. If you make changes to a clip opened from the Browser, the changes
appear only in the clip in the Browser.
• Add filters to clips and adjust filters applied to clips
• Adjust the motion parameters of clips to modify or animate such parameters as Scale,
Rotation, Cropping, and Opacity
• Adjust generator clip controls
