Working with the Browser in Icon View
In large, medium, or small icon view, you arrange your clips graphically in the Browser.
Video clips are displayed as a thumbnail of the starting frame of video, audio clips are
displayed as a speaker, and bins are indicated by a folder icon. If a video clip has an
audio track, a small speaker icon appears inside the clip’s thumbnail.
You can use different views for open Browser windows and tabs. For example, you
can keep the main tab of your project in the Browser in list view for organizational
purposes, but open bins in their own windows or tabs using large icon view to quickly
identify clips visually.
Scrubbing Through Clips in Icon View
In large icon view, you can scrub through video clips to see their content. You can also
scrub through thumbnails of clips displayed in list view (see “
Working with the Browser
in List View ” on page 62). However, you don’t have all of the options you have in large
icon view.
Note: You can’t scrub through clips in small icon view.
