Quick view timeline
The Quick view timeline displays each clip as a series of frames that span the entire clip length. You can trim unwanted portions within individual
frames and rearrange them. You can also swap the position of a clip with another to make a coherent movie sequence.
Expert view timeline
For more advanced editing, use the Expert view timeline. The Expert view timeline graphically represents your movie project as video and audio
clips arranged in vertically stacked tracks. When you capture video from a digital video device, the clips appear sequentially as they occur.
Expert view timeline
The Expert view timeline uses a time ruler to display the components of your movie and their relationship to each other over time. You can trim
and add scenes, indicate important frames with markers, add transitions, and control how clips are blended or superimposed. Compared to the
Quick view, the Expert view timeline has more tracks.
