Detecting Duplicate Frames Over Transitions
When Show Duplicate Frames is turned on in a sequence’s settings, duplicate frames
that occur over the duration of a transition between two clips are indicated by white
dots to the left and/or right of that transition. The side of the transition the dots appear
on indicates the clip or clips that use duplicate frames.
If you use a clip more than once within a single edited sequence, the duplicated frames
are marked by a colored bar appearing at the bottom of the clip’s video item in
the Timeline.
However, if the duplicated frames fall outside the boundaries of the clip in the Timeline
or fall within a transition, a special indicator—four white dots—appears where the
duplicate frames are located. When you zoom out, the white dots decrease in range
from four to zero, depending on the zoom level.
The white dots indicate duplicate
frames used in a transition.
The red bars indicate duplicate
frames used within a sequence.
