Assigning Local Colors to Clips in the Timeline
You can assign local colors to clips in the Timeline — for example, to indicate clips that you
want to group together or to make clips stand out while you work in the Timeline.
For more information on clip colors in the Timeline, see “Displaying Clip Colors in the
Timeline” on page 632.
