Working with Clips on the Desktop

Clips on the Desktop are collapsible, low-resolution versions of the entire clip. Depending on the preferences you set, clip information can appear as an overlay. You can scrub Desktop clips, entire reels, or jump to a specific frame in a clip based on its frame number or timecode.

By default, clips scrub left-to-right, although you can change playback direction or orient reels vertically, as described in the next section. Procedures in this document assume the default left-to-right settings.
