Displaying Element Information

You can display information about elements on the timeline by resizing tracks in any Timeline view or by displaying a clip information overlay in most Record Area views.

The information displayed when resizing tracks depends on the settings in the Preferences menu (see General). When you display a clip information overlay of video or audio segments, the following information appears:

• The number of heads and tails associated with the element
• The source name and offsets
• The Sync Offset
• The record in/out points
• The source in/out points
• The type of soft effects applied to the element
• A BFX indicator if the segment contains any Batch FX
• The audio gain status and frame code mode on audio elements
• Element length (appears between source in and out points)
• Comments
• A clip proxy that displays the source media of the first frame used in the segment. The proxy appears in Record, Source, and Container Timeline views.

To display element information:

1. Do one of the following:
   • To increase the size of a track, drag the track identifier down or drag the vertical scroll bar towards the left.

     Information about each element on a track appears.

   
   

   • To display a clip information overlay, Alt-click an element, transition, or cue mark.

     An overlay of the selected element containing element information and the clip proxy appears.
