Adjusting Handle Length in Dupe Detection
To adjust handle lengths in Dupe Detection:
1. Double-click Timeline in the Settings list in the Project window.
The Timeline Settings dialog box opens.
2. Click the Dupe Detection Handles menu in the Edit tab, and select the number of handle
frames. The typical 35mm safety frame setting is 0.5 frame (amounting to a 1-frame total
with both sides of a cut).
3. Click OK.
The selected value is applied to the head and tail of every event.
When you enable Dupe Detection during editing, the handles are added to the colored dupe
indicators that appear in the Timeline.
Editing with the Film Track
You can use the film track to examine each frame of the sequence in a linear display, much as
you would when looking at a strand of film on a flatbed or workbench. Unlike your view of the
footage in the monitors, that display one frame at a time, the film track within the Timeline lets
you compare individual frames side by side within a range of frames.
To display the film track:
t Click the Timeline Fast Menu button, and select Show Track > Film.
A row of film frames appears at the top of the Timeline. The film track displays as many
representative frames as possible within the window.
Film track in the Timeline
To adjust your view of the Timeline quickly for frame-by-frame viewing and editing:
t Click the Timeline Fast Menu button, and select Show Every Frame.
The film track displays frames for the topmost video track only. You cannot display more
than one film track at a time.
