View source timecode in the Program Monitor
You can display the source timecode in the Program Monitor preview for clips in a sequence as you edit:
• If you trim a clip, the clip’s source timecode is displayed.
• If you perform a slide edit, the new source media In and Out points for the adjacent clips are displayed.
• If you perform a slip edit, the clip’s new source media In and Out points are displayed.
❖ Choose Timecode Overlay During Edit from the Program Monitor panel menu. A check mark indicates that the

Assembling a sequence
Adding clips to a sequence
You can add clips to a sequence in the following ways:
• Drag the clip from the Project panel or Source Monitor to the Timeline panel or the Program Monitor.
• Use the Insert and Overlay buttons in the Source Monitor to add clips to the Timeline panel. Or use the keyboard
shortcuts associated with those buttons.
• Automatically assemble a sequence according to how the clips are arranged in the Project panel.
An overlay edit adds a clip by replacing any frames already in a sequence starting from the edit point and extending
for the length of the clip. Overlay is the default method when dragging a clip to a sequence or when rearranging clips
in a sequence.
Adding a clip by overlaying existing clips
With an insert edit, adding a clip to the sequence forces any clips later in time to shift forward to accommodate the
new clip. When dragging a clip, press the Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) key to shift into insert mode.
