and Out points. You can adjust the current time, markers, and the In and Out points by dragging their icons in a time
ruler.
Current-time indicator (CTI)
Shows the location of the current frame in each monitor’s time ruler. The CTI is the light
blue triangle in the ruler.
Current time displays
Show the timecode for the current frame. The current time displays are located at the bottom
left of each monitor’s video. The Source Monitor shows the current time for the open clip. The Program Monitor
shows the sequence’s current time. To move to a different time, click in the display and enter a new time, or place the
pointer over the time display and drag left or right. You can change the display between full timecode and a frame
count by Ctrl-clicking (Windows) or Command-clicking (Mac OS) the current time in either monitor or a Timeline
panel.
Duration display
Show the duration of the open clip or sequence. Each monitor’s duration indicator is located next to
the Duration icon
below the video display. The duration is the time difference between the In point and the Out
point for the clip or sequence. When no In point is set, the starting time of the clip or of the sequence is substituted.
When no Out point is set, the Source Monitor uses the ending time of the clip to calculate duration, and the Program
Monitor uses the ending time of the last clip in the sequence to calculate duration.
Viewing area bars
Correspond with the visible area of the time ruler in each monitor. They are the thin bars with
curved handles above each time ruler. You can drag the handles to change the width of the bar and thereby change the
scale of the time ruler below. Expanding the bar to its maximum width reveals the entire duration of the time ruler,
and contracting the bar zooms in for a more detailed view of the ruler. By dragging the center of the bar, you can scroll
the visible part of a time ruler without changing its scale.
Note: Although the Program Monitor’s current-time indicator corresponds with the current-time indicator in a Timeline
panel, changing the Program Monitor’s time ruler or viewing area bar does not affect the time ruler or viewing area in a
Timeline panel.
