specified for the project in the Fields setting in the New Sequence dialog box, General tab). Then it interpolates the
missing lines based on the lines of the dominant field.
Note: In a sequence with No Fields (Progressive Scan) selected in the Fields menu, Always Deinterlace retains the upper
field. However, in this type of sequence, if you also select Reverse Field Dominance, Always Deinterlace retains the lower
field.
Flicker Removal
Prevents thin horizontal details in an image from flickering by slightly blurring the two fields
together. An object as thin as one scan line flickers because it can appear only in every other field. This option blurs
consecutive lines 50%; it does not deinterlace the clip. It is especially useful for graphics containing thin horizontal
lines.

1
Make sure that the Info panel is visible. If it is not, choose Window > Info.
2
In either the Project panel or Timeline panel, select the clips for which you want to know the total duration. The
Info panel displays the number of items selected and the total duration of those items. This information is useful if
you want to paste clips into a specific area and need to know the exact duration of the target area or of the source
clips.
Note: If you select contiguous clips in the Project panel, the Info panel displays the total duration of all the clips you select.
However, if you select noncontiguous clips in a sequence, the Info panel displays the duration as a range, from In point
of the first clip you selected, to the Out point of the last clip you selected. For the purpose of copying and pasting, the
duration of a particular range is more important than the sum of all the clips’ durations. If you copy and paste a
noncontiguous group of sequence clips, the pasted clips will occupy the range noted on the Info panel and the areas that
you did not select will be empty.
Change speed and duration for one or more clips
The speed of a clip is the playback rate compared to the rate at which it was recorded. Initially, a clip plays back at its
normal, 100% speed. (Even if the frame rate of the source footage doesn’t match that of the sequence, the sequence
automatically reconciles the difference. It plays back the clip at its proper speed.)
In a Timeline panel, clips with speed changes are indicated with a percentage of the original speed.
