When this option is selected, thin colored indicator lines display in the Timecode track
of the Timeline. These lines provide information about the real-time effects in your
sequence. For more information, see “Real-Time Playback of Video Effects” in the
Help.
Show Position Bar When this option is selected, the Timeline shows the blue position bar.
Show Effect Contents When this option is selected, your Avid editing application displays effect information
in the Timeline.

Nesting
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application lets you double-click
segments in the Timeline to display the nested effects.
Show Four-Frame
Display
When this option is selected, your Avid editing application shows the head and tail of
incoming or outgoing frames of video when you drag a segment.
Use Fast Scrub When this option is selected, your Avid editing application responds faster and more
smoothly when you drag the position indicator through the Timeline (scrub). However,
markers such as the start-of-clip and end-of-clip marks, sawtooth marks for IN and OUT
points, and markers do not display, and some effects do not display completely in HD
projects.
When this option is deselected, all markers and HD effects display. This is the default
option.
Movement During
Play
Select one option to control the movement of the Timeline while you play a sequence:
• Page — moves the Timeline section by section as the position indicator reaches the
end of the visible Timeline.
• Scroll — moves the Timeline while keeping the position indicator stationary.
• None — keeps the Timeline stationary as the position indicator moves, even after
the indicator goes beyond the end of the visible Timeline.
