General Options
These are basic display options you can change at any time. Several options, such as the
default number of video and audio tracks, are only available in the Timeline Options tab
of the User Preferences window, because these options only affect default settings for
new sequences.
• Starting Timecode: This sets the starting timecode number in the Timeline for new
sequences.
• Drop Frame: Select this option to display drop frame timecode in the Timeline (this
only applies to NTSC format video that has a frame rate of 30 fps). For more information
on drop frame and non-drop frame timecode, see
• Track Size: Choose a track size to set the vertical height of tracks in the Timeline. (You
can also use the Track Height controls in the Timeline.)
• Thumbnail Display: Choose how the thumbnails appear in the Timeline.
• Name: Displays only the name of the clip without thumbnail images.
• Name Plus Thumbnail: Displays the video frame at the In point of the clip and the
clip name.
• Filmstrip: Displays as many thumbnail images as possible for the current zoom level
of the Timeline.
• Audio Track Labels: Choose whether audio tracks are labeled as individual audio tracks
(A1, A2, A3, and so on) or as members of a pair (A1a and A1b, A2a and A2b, and so on).
