Working in the Media Timeline

Working in the Media Timeline
The Media Timeline is a graphical representation of the length and time spans of an asset or
sequence. The Media Timeline includes timing marks, a position indicator, and other controls.
The following illustration shows the Media Timeline and controls in Asset mode.
In Output mode, the Media Timeline does not include In and Out markers or markers.
The position indicator functions as a playhead: media for the frame marked by the position
indicator is displayed in the Media viewer. You can drag the position indicator to scrub through a
clip or sequence. You can click a location in the Media Timeline to move the position indicator
and display a specific frame. In Output mode, movement of the position indicator matches
movement of the position indicator in the Sequence Timeline.
Marks in the Media Timeline indicate various time spans. The time spans indicated depend on
the length of the asset or sequence and the settings in the zoom bar. Timing marks indicate the
following:
•1 second
• 10 seconds
• 1 minute (60 seconds)
• 5 minutes (300 seconds)
• 1 hour (3600 seconds)
These timing marks are intended for general navigation, not navigation to a specific timecode.
For information about working with timecode, see
“Using the Timecode Displays” on page 152.
