for your reference and not for editing per se, the reference monitor contains controls for
cueing to frames, not for playback or editing. When you gang the reference monitor and
Program views together, you can use the Program view’s playback controls. You may
open
only one reference monitor. For more about using Monitor window controls and viewing
options, see “Using Monitor window controls” on page 105.
To open a reference monitor:
In the Monitor window pop-up menu, choose New Reference Monitor. The reference
monitor opens in a separate window. If you want, you can drag the reference monitor’s tab
into the Source view.
To gang the reference monitor and Program view:
Do one of the following:
•
In the reference monitor, click the Gang button .
•
In the reference monitor’s pop-up menu, choose Gang to Program view.
•
In the Program view’s pop-up menu, choose Gang to Reference Monitor.

Using the Timeline window
Whereas the Program view of the Monitor window displays a sequence as it will appear on
a video monitor, the Timeline window represents a sequence graphically, showing
placement of clips in a horizontal timeline of video and audio tracks. Each sequence in a
project can appear as a tabbed window in a single Timeline window, or in a separate
Timeline window (see “Working with multiple sequences and nested sequences” on
page 135). You can add video source clips to any video track in a sequence, and audio
clips
to any compatible audio track. Transitions appear as objects between clips (see“Dragging
transitions between clips” on page 163). Video tracks 2 and higher are used to
superimpose
clips (see “Compositing clips” on page 220). Similarly, additional audio tracks are
used to mix audio. You can specify the type of audio channels supported by each audio
track and decide how they are sent to a Master audio track. To achieve even greater
control over the mixing process, you can create submix tracks (see “About audio channels
and tracks” on page 173). You can perform a number of editing tasks directly in the
Timeline window and customize it to best suit the task at hand or your personal style of
working.

Customizing a sequence’s time ruler
By default, each sequence’s time ruler starts at zero and measures time according to the
video frame count you specified in the project settings. However, you can change the
starting time of the sequence’s time ruler. For example, you may want to set the start time
to match a master tape, which typically begins at 00;58;00;00, to accommodate a
twominute
leader before the standard program start time of 01;00;00;00 (see “Creating a
counting leader” on page 86). To set more precise audio In points, you can toggle the time
ruler between displaying time divisions based on frames and divisions based on audio
samples. For more about using an audio sample time display, see “Setting sample-based
audio In and Out points” on page 122.
