Options for Displaying Duplicate Frames

Indicating duplicate frames is useful primarily for movies you plan to finish on film (using
Cinema Tools) or that will be edited online in a tape-to-tape edit suite. In both instances,
it’s important to know if the same frames are being used in more than one place in the
Timeline because special measures must be taken to create these duplicate frames later.
If you can see where there are duplicate frames in advance, you can reedit your sequence
to eliminate the duplicates, if necessary.

If you use a clip more than once within a single edited sequence, the duplicated frames
are marked by the duplicate frames indicator, a colored bar appearing at the bottom of
the clip’s video item in the Timeline.
