Show the timecode for the current frame. The current time displays are located at the bottom
Current time displays
left of each monitor's video. The Source Monitor shows the current time for the open clip. The Program Monitor
shows the sequence's current time. To move to a different time, click in the display and enter a new time, or place
the pointer over the time display and drag left or right. You can change the display between full timecode and a
frame count by Ctrl-clicking (Windows) or Command-clicking (Mac OS) the current time in either monitor or the
Timeline panel.
Show the duration of the open clip or sequence. Each monitor's duration indicator is located next
Duration display
to the Duration icon below the video display. The duration is the time difference between the In point and the
Out point for the clip or sequence. When no In point is set, the starting time of the clip or of the sequence is substi-
tuted. When no Out point is set, the Source Monitor uses the ending time of the clip to calculate duration, and the
Program Monitor uses the ending time of the last clip in the sequence to calculate duration.
Correspond with the visible area of the time ruler in each monitor. They are the thin bars with
Viewing area bars
curved handles above each time ruler. You can drag the handles to change the width of the bar and thereby change
the scale of the time ruler below. Expanding the bar to its maximum width reveals the entire duration of the time
ruler, and contracting the bar zooms in for a more detailed view of the ruler. By dragging the center of the bar, you
can scroll the visible part of a time ruler without changing its scale.
Note: Although the Program Monitor's current-time indicator corresponds with the current-time indicator in the
Timeline panel, changing the Program Monitor's time ruler or viewing area bar does not affect the time ruler or
viewing area in the Timeline panel.
