The Soundtrack Pro Interface

HUDs

A heads-up display (HUD) is a semi-transparent floating window with controls and
displays that you can use to accomplish specific tasks. All of these windows float over the
main Soundtrack Pro window. To open any of these windows, choose Window > HUDs.

Timecode HUD

The resizable Timecode HUD makes reading current timecode very easy, particularly
from a distance. You can also use the Timecode HUD to navigate in the Timeline or the
File Editor by dragging the displayed hours, minutes, seconds, or frames up or down.

Sound Palette

You can use the Sound Palette HUD to lift attributes from selections in the Timeline and
apply them to one or more clips (or regions of clips). For more information on the
Sound Palette HUD, see “

Using the Lift and Stamp Tools

” on page 179.

Multipoint Video HUD

You can use the resizable Multipoint Video HUD as a visual guide for precisely spotting
(placing) sound effects and other audio clips to specific frames of a video program. For
more information on the Multipoint Video HUD, see “

Scrubbing and Spotting with the

Multipoint Video HUD

” on page 322.
