Video Editing
Navigating on the Timeline
This section describes how you can find your way on the Timeline, set the Playline to specific points on
the Timeline, and view/listen to video/audio.
The information below also applies to the Playlines in the Clip, Source, Master and all other Viewers.
The timecode display to the lower left of the Timeline refers to the current position of the Playline.
Zoom Control and Scroll Bars
The amount of a Sequence that you can view at one time on the Timeline depends on three factors:
Timeline scale/zoom: Zooming the Timeline scale in and out (page 356).
Scroll bars: Scrolling the Sequence to the left/right or up/down (page 355).
Desktop view (View Switcher): Here you can select various Timeline views, such as horizontal
over both monitors (if you work with two monitors; see page 46)
Mouse Navigation
“Mouse navigation” in Avid Liquid means moving the Playline (page 355).
Scrub Mode
In this case, the mouse pointer must be switched to Scrub Mode. Above the Timeline, the mouse pointer
again appears as shown (white arrow accompanied by a line representing the Playline).
If the mouse pointer does not look like this, you are in Edit Mode (page 411). Click the Edit Mode button
in the Timeline toolbar to switch to Scrub Mode.
Or to change modes temporarily, hold down the ALT key. When you release the key, the
mouse pointer will return to the previous mode.
Moving the Playline
In Scrub Mode: Click the point on the Timeline where you want to position the Playline.
In Edit Mode: Click the desired position within the Timecode Bar (page 355).
