Displaying a Frame Index Screen of a Single Clip

You can display an index screen of a single clip broken down as frames at fixed intervals. This is useful when you
have a long clip or wish to play back a clip from a certain point. You can change how many thumbnails are
displayed. You can also perform other operations from this index screen, such as adding and deleting shot

marks.
1 Select the desired clip and then press SET to open the clip menu.
2 Select [Expand Clip] and then press SET.
• The [Expand Clip] index screen appears, which shows thumbnails of frames taken from the clip at fixed
intervals. The time code under the thumbnail indicates the time code of the frame.
• You can change the fixed interval between frames by showing more or fewer thumbnails. To show more
thumbnails, open the clip menu and select [More Index Pics] and then press SET. To show fewer
thumbnails, select [Fewer Index Pics] and then press SET.
• Press the INDEX button or CANCEL button to return to the clip index screen.
NOTES
• After you finish playing back a clip from this index screen, the index screen that was open before the [Expand
Clip] index screen will appear.

screen that shows only the clips with a " mark, only the clips with a # mark, or only clips with either shot mark.

shot mark.
