Quick view timeline overview
The Quick view timeline provides a stage on which you can quickly arrange your clips into a movie. It displays each clip as a series of frames that
span the entire clip length. Move the slider to the right to zoom out and see your entire video. Move the slider to the left to zoom in and see a clip
in more detail. The Quick view timeline has the following tracks:
Title: Add a title for your clip on this track
Video: Edit your video on this track
Sound: Place background music and other sounds
Narration: Add a narration for your clip to this track
Use the Quick view timeline to quickly assemble your clips into a movie. Click the scissor icon on the current-time indicator to split a clip and
remove an unwanted portion. You can also use the panels in the Action bar to add titles, transitions, special effects, and music to your clips.

Adding clips in the Quick view timeline
Drag clips directly to the Quick view timeline from Windows Explorer (Finder in Mac OS). You can also use the Add Media panel to add clips to the
Quick view timeline from various sources.
After adding clips, use the Quick view timeline to rearrange them. You can insert a clip before another, after another, or even split it before
inserting.
Place a clip in the Quick view timeline
1. Drag a clip from Windows Explorer (Finder in Mac OS) to the Quick view timeline. When you drag the clip over the Quick view timeline, a
vertical green line indicates the drop zone where you can place the clip. When the pointer changes to the insert icon, release the mouse
button.
2. Drag the clip from Windows Explorer (Finder in Mac OS) to the Monitor panel. The clip is automatically placed in the Quick view timeline.
