2.5.6 Clip Store Counters
Clip counters appear on the Multi-View for each of the two channels of clip store. There
are 3 different floatable clip counters. Either individual Clip 1 Counter and Clip 2 Counter
or a Dual Clip counter, as shown below.
They display the clip counter with both a number and a moving blue bar. They can be
set to either count up and show elapsed time (runtime), or they can be set to count
down, to show the remaining time in a clip.
Counters will move at one-second intervals, and with 10 seconds left in the clip the bar
will turn red and the counter will move at one-frame intervals.
Clip counters also provide Tally information. Red letters: On Program, Orange letters:
On Preview, White letters: Selected in the Clip Store.

check mark will appear as shown. Now both
counters and the counter in the display of the
