Viewing Multiple Shots
 
 
 

Multi-view is useful for viewing your sequence in a Storyboard format while developing continuity between shots. With multi-view, you see the entire image, and you can toggle between viewing 2, 4, 9, or 16 shots.

To view multiple shots simultaneously in the Player:

  1. Select up to 16 shots. See Selecting Shots in the Storyboard.
    NoteIf you do not select any shots, you will see the first shots in the sequence in multi-view.
  2. Press F5.

    The last used view is displayed—either split view or multi-view. Split view displays two frames split in half while multi-view displays the entire frame of one or more shots.

  3. If split view is displayed, press F3 to activate multi-view.

    The last used multi-view mode is displayed. Either 2, 4, 9, or 16 shots are displayed.

  4. If needed, press F3 one or more times to change the number of shots displayed.

    The first two shots displayed are the current frames on Playheads A and B. The rest of the shots displayed are the selected shots, displayed sequentially from left to right in the order of selection.

    NoteIf no shots are selected, after the first two shots, shots starting at the third shot in the cut are displayed sequentially from left to right.
  5. If needed, pan the displayed shots by clicking the middle mouse button and dragging in any image.
  6. If needed, switch playheads and navigate to another frame on either playhead.
  7. If needed, make a new selection of shots while in multi-view, and then press F6 to update multi-view with the new selection.
  8. To turn off multi-view, do one of the following:
