Index

The Index provides a handy interface for listing all of the clips in the current edit, all the tracks in the current Timeline, and all the markers in the current Timeline. Using these lists, multiple items can be selected, tracks can be managed, and marker notes can be consulted with ease. Each of these three categories of information is displayed in separate panels: the Edit Index, Tracks, and Markers.

Edit Index

Displays the Edit Index as seen in the Edit page. Each audio clip in the currently open Timeline corresponds to a row in the Edit Index, with columns for video track, Source In and Out, Record In and Out, Name, and other descriptive metadata. All selected clips (including clips that are automatically selected because they intersect the playhead) are selected in the Edit Index. The Option menu lets you filter the Edit Index by various criteria, for example showing only clips with a particular color of flag, marker, or color, only clips with speed effects, only clips with audio filters, or compound audio clips.
