clip and no information is currently displayed, you can still open the menu by clicking in the area
above a monitor.
To display tracking information:

the monitor to open the Tracking Information menu.
3. Select the type of tracking information you want to display.
If you select the option for two information rows above the monitors in the Composer
settings (in the Window tab), you can display two different types of tracking information for
the footage in each monitor.
For example, you can display both running timecode and IN to OUT durations for clips
loaded in the Source monitor. You can display similar information for the sequence shown in
the Record monitor.
