Show Through Edits: A through edit is an edit composed of two adjacent frames that

have the same reel number and subsequent timecode numbers. For example, if you
use the Razor Blade tool to cut a clip in half, that edit point is considered a through
edit. Select this option to display through edit indicators—two red triangles—where
they exist. This may help you discover unnecessary edit points in your sequence, which
you can then delete. This option is also available in the Track Layout pop-up menu in
the Timeline. For more information, see

“Cutting Clips and Adjusting Durations.”

Show Duplicate Frames: Select this option to display frames that are used in your

sequence more than once. When duplicate frames are displayed and you select a clip,
you can see a list of all clips that contain the same frames as the selected clip. For more

“Options for Displaying

Duplicate Frames.”

You can also select this option from the Track Layout pop-up menu

in the Timeline.

Show Audio Controls: Select this option to display the mute and solo buttons to the

left of each audio track in the Timeline. You can also use the Audio controls button in
