See "Selecting thumbnails" (page 92) for more
information.
Using the expand function to find scenes
The expand function allows you to divide a
selected clip into equally sized blocks, and to
display thumbnails of the first frame in each
block. This is a quick and efficient way to review
the selected clip and search for target scenes. You
can specify 12, 144, or 1728 divisions.
Note
The maximum number of blocks may be smaller than
1728 when the recorded duration of the clip is short. In
this case, the frame interval of expanded thumbnails is
fixed at 1 frame. This allows you to view expanded
thumbnails at equal intervals.
See page 91 for more information about thumbnail
screen operations.

thumbnail of the clip that contains the
scene you want to find.

Using the chapter function to find scenes
Sections between shot marks and Rec Start are
called chapters.
Rec Start essence marks are set automatically at
the start of recording, but shot marks can be set at
any scene during recording or playback.
The chapter function allows you to display
thumbnails of the chapters in a clip.
See "Recording essence marks" (page 76) for more
information.
