108 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface

Â Video and audio timecode numbers: In the center of the Canvas and Viewer are lists of

timecode numbers for every clip item that intersects the current position of the

playhead. The column on the left shows video and the column on the right displays

audio. Video and audio tracks start with the display of track 1.

Â Video timecode numbers are preceded by V and the number of the video track.

Â Audio timecode numbers are preceded by A and the number of the audio track.

Depending on the size of the window, not all tracks may be displayed. If Final Cut Pro

cannot fit all the tracks in the window, a “+” (plus) indicates that there are more clips

items whose timecode numbers aren’t displayed in the overlay.

Â Color-coding of clip items in sync: Clip items’ timecode overlays are color-coded to

indicate which ones are in sync. There are 12 colors used to indicate distinct groups

of synced clip items. Whenever one or more clip items are in sync, their listed

timecode values are highlighted with the same color. If a clip item is not in sync with

any other item, it is displayed in the standard gray timecode overlay color.

For example, if the clip items on tracks V1, A1, and A2 all refer to the same media file,

and they all have the same timecode number at the current playhead position, the

timecode overlays for these tracks are displayed with the same color.
