Viewing Methods
You can work with clips and sequences in several ways, depending on your needs and
preferences. Each method has its own uses and advantages, as described in the following table:
Viewing Method Description
In bins You see pictorial images of the clips in your bins by using Frame or Script view and can
play the clips in the bin. For more information, see “Using Frame View” on page 330 and
“Using Script View” on page 332.
In the Source monitor You can load clips and sequences into the Source monitor to view and mark or
subcatalog shots for use in a sequence that you build in the Timeline. For more
information, see “Loading and Clearing Footage” on page 503.
In the Record monitor You can load a sequence into the Record monitor to view, mark, or modify an existing
