Each separate instance of duplicated frames is color-coded differently. There are six
different colors used to indicate separate sets of duplicated frames: red, green, blue, white,
black, and purple. If there are more than six sets of duplicate frames in your sequence,
these colors are reused. In the following example, the first clip is duplicated once, as
indicated by the red duplicate frames indicator. The second clip is also duplicated once,
as indicated by the green duplicate frames indicator.

Different colors indicate
different sets of
duplicated frames.

Note: If a duplicated instance of a clip has variable speed applied to it, no duplicate frames
indicators appear.

You can adjust the parameters that determine when duplicate frames indicators appear
in the Editing tab of User Preferences. For more information, see

“Choosing Settings and

Preferences.”

You can turn on or turn off duplicate frames indicators altogether by selecting Show
Duplicate Frames in the Timeline Options tab of the Sequence Settings window. For more
information, see

“Sequence Settings and Presets.”
