Use these setting to customize your timeline display.

Element Display Option boxSelect Offsets, Handles, or No Info to change the information displayed on the first line of elements on the timeline. With Offsets or Handles selected, the following information appears:

• Record names (if any) of all shots on the timeline and the number of frames in the head and tail of each shot (displayed when Handles is selected).
• History indicator (a small H icon) if the segment contains clip history.
• Tape names (if any) and source names (if any) of all shots on the timeline, and the offset values of the shots (displayed when Offsets is selected).
• The record timecode of each shot on the timeline.
• The source timecode of each shot on the timeline.
• The offset value for elements out of sync with the master sync.
• Audio gain status and frame code mode on audio elements.
• If the element uses a soft-imported clip as a source, its source format and the path to the source files.
• Comment line (if any).
• Length, both source and record, of the clip.

  You can also display the information temporarily when No Info is selected by Alt-clicking on the timeline or the Source Area, and dragging the cursor over the elements (use the left Alt button). As you drag, the information on each element is displayed.

Grid Lines buttonUse the Grid Lines button to control the number of grid lines that appear on the timeline:

• When this button is enabled, a grid line appears for every frame.
• When this button is disabled, a grid line appears at every 10 frames.

  Note that the grid lines are for visual reference only—they do not affect segments in any way.

Phantom Inserts buttonEnable to see a pink preview of a segment when you insert edits on the timeline, so you can preview where your edit will go (enabled by default).
