The positions of the different edit points you’ve selected don’t change relative to one
another, but the selected area of your clip or sequence does. As it changes, you’ll see the
first selected frame of video updated in the Viewer, and the last frame of video updated
in the Canvas.

The Viewer displays
the updated frame of
the In point with the
new timecode value.

The Canvas displays
the frame of the new
Out point.

If you make the changes in the Timeline, you’ll see a two-up display in the Canvas, showing
the updated frames.
