As shown in Figure 126, when the

VU meter

overlay option is enabled, a volume knob (similar to those in the

Audio Mixer

) is shown. Drag this knob up or down to modify the audio source associated with this input.

Hint: When using a touchscreen with the Click Viewports to Show on PGM option enabled, swiping the monitor
horizontally (rather than tapping it

)

will temporarily display viewport overlays.

Configuration (gear) icon

for a

Switcher

input, a

Preview

monitor, or

, opens the

corresponding

Configuration panel.

Notice, too, that a

snapshot

icon appears in the label below most viewports. Click this to quickly grab a still

image (images grabbed in this manner will obey the

Add grabs to

option in the

Grab Configuration

panel; see

Section 20.3).

The

viewports for

Media Players

(Figure 127) show handy transport control in the label area

from left to

,

Play/Stop

, and

Next.

In addition, a progress gauge is shown in the background to show the playhead position and warning colors
as playback nears its end.

Hint: When LiveMatte, Proc Amp, or Crop settings are active for a source, the configuration gear gadget for a
viewport is color coded and shown full-time.
