Working with the Filmstrip panel

The Filmstrip panel displays each frame of a clip in the Video Paint

workspace. At the bottom of the Filmstrip panel, there is a thin gray scroll

bar which indicates the current frames in view. By dragging on this gray

bar, you can scroll through these frames to see the entire contents of the

clip. When you have found a frame you are interested in, click on it to

display it in an edit window.

Note: You can also switch to the next or previous frame by using the Navigator or

pressing the [

CTRL+RIGHT] and [LEFT] arrow keys. To go to any cues, or the first or last

CTRL+HOME] and [CTRL+END] keys.

When you select a frame, blue place markers appear above and below the

position (timecode) in the current view while the scroll bar indicates the

frame’s position relative to the entire clip.
