Panes in the Tracking Information Menu
The Tracking Information menu has three panes. You can select an option from pane 1, pane 2,
or pane 3 to be displayed above a monitor. The following table describes the contents of the three
panes:
Pane Description
Pane 1 Lets you select a format for the tracking information. In the Record monitor, you set
select a format for either the Sequence tracking information or the Source clip tracking
information. In the Source monitor, you can select a format for the Source clip tracking
information only.
The Sequence submenu lets you select Timecode, Footage (feet and frames for 24p
and 25p projects), or Frames (a sum total of frames for either film or video).
n
When you are working with a 24p or 25p project, the Timecode submenu lets you
select an output timecode format. The Footage submenu lets you select a
supported film type. The final Timecode, Footage, and Frames submenu then
displays the master timecode (Mas), duration of the entire clip (Dur), IN to OUT
duration (I/O), absolute timecode (Abs), and time remaining (Rem).
The Source submenu displays the information for the tracks existing in the currently
loaded clip or sequence. For example, a clip with only one audio track does not show
an option for A2. The item you select is displayed above the monitor.
