Chapter 7 THE DASHBOARD
The Dashboard groups important production features along with configuration and
display controls in one convenient place for quick access and review. As well, the
Dashboard serves to provide information on the current session, status updates and
storage usage, along with timecode and the Macros and Options menus.
The Dashboard is home to several important displays, tools and controls. Prominently located at the very
top of the Live Desktop , it occupies the full width of the screen.

Initially, to avoid overwhelming us, the left end of the Dashboard simply shows the name of the current
session. Moving the mouse pointer to the top of the screen reveals the set of menus shown in Figure 57.
FIGURE 58
