About Modules

From the Desktop, you can enter modules - discrete areas where you can modify relevant parameters or perform a group of related operations, and then return to the Desktop with a processed clip.

When you work in a module, you play and view clips in-progress in the image window. Because you may be applying effects to one or more clips at a time, real-time playback is not always possible. However, the image window still provides fast clip navigation, scrubbing, and, if you play the clip, the system renders as many frames per second as it can.

The image window provides clip display tools that aid the creative process. Use the Grid menu to display a reference grid and overlays such as letterbox, safe action and title, and centre-point.

The View menu provides some modules access to the reference area: a tool that displays reference clips or stored reference frames comparatively using a split bar. In some modules, you can also display multiple viewports and select 3D LUTs to apply to the clip.
