Timing View
 
 
 

The Timing View displays the timelines of all clips at the current level in one view. This view is especially useful for edits where you want to see the relative position of all Batch clips in time. For example, offset multiple clips or edit one clip in relation to the others.

You can adjust the timing of any number of clips as well as perform basic editing operations such as trimming, slipping, sliding, or trimming. You cannot perform editing operations that involve combining clips or inserting frames from one clip into another.

Edit a clip gesturally or use hotkeys as you would on the main timeline.

To access the Timing View:

  1. From main Batch or any Batch FX level, click Timing.

    The Timing View appears. All clips in the current schematic, including clips that are part of a group node, are represented by a clip proxy and primary video track. Gaps are displayed based on No Media settings, which are set in the clip's Basic menu.
