Add Chapter
Indicates the current edit point in the timeline. This location is reflected by the frame
Current-time indicator
displayed in the Monitor panel. Similar to a cursor in text or the playback head on a video player, the current-time
indicator points to the current location in the clip and determines the timecode display.
Marks a chapter point within the video. Chapter points are useful for jumping to scenes in the content
Chapter point
and can be linked to from menus, buttons, and other timelines. (See "To add chapter points to timelines" on
page 139.)
Indicates the location of a GOP (Group of Pictures) header in an MPEG-2 video. GOP headers are
GOP header
visible only if you are zoomed in sufficiently. If you've added an AVI file, you may not see GOP headers until the
timeline is transcoded. (See "About chapter points in timelines" on page 139.)
Marks the frame to display in a video thumbnail button. (See "Creating video thumbnail buttons" on
Poster Frame
page 104.)
Lets you determine which timeline to display by selecting the timeline name from the menu.

Timeline timecode
timecode uses semicolons (hours;minutes;seconds;frames) for NTSC projects or colons
(hours:minutes:seconds:frames) for PAL projects.

Track selectors
can activate only one audio and one subtitle track at a time. However, while one audio track must be active (even if
it is empty), you do not need to activate a subtitle track.
Zooms in and out of the timeline.
