Collapsing and Expanding Clips

You can expand and collapse clips on the Desktop. Expanding clips makes it easier to see the progression of a clip from frame-to-frame. When clips are collapsed, you can fit more on the visible part of the Desktop reel.

A collapsed clip is a stack of frames.

An expanded clip is a strip of contiguous frames.

To collapse and then expand a clip:

1. Move the cursor over any frame of an expanded clip.
2. Press C.
3. To expand the clip, move the cursor over the collapsed clip and press C.

To collapse and then expand all clips on a reel:

1. Position the cursor over a grey area between clips on a reel.
2. Press C.
3. To expand all clips on a reel, repeat the previous two steps.

To collapse and then expand all clips on the Desktop:

1. Position the cursor in the menu.
2. Press C.
3. To expand all clips on the Desktop, repeat the previous two steps.
