 Frame boundary indicators: Next to each Frame Viewer pop-up menu is a green or

blue square indicator. These indicators are also located at the top of the Frame
Viewer tab and indicate the timecode values of the frames displayed from the
sequence. There are also four blue and four green frame boundary indicators at the
corners of the split-screen window that correspond to the frames chosen in the
Frame Viewer pop-up menus. The edges of the split screen can be manipulated by
selecting one of the frame boundary indicators and dragging it to a new position.

Note: By default, you won’t see two of the blue frame boundary indicators because
they are slightly off the screen.

split and horizontally split screens.

 Swap: Alternates the content in each frame and switches the two Frame Viewer

pop-up menus accordingly.

 H-Split: Splits the screen horizontally. (Click twice to switch sides.)
