Customizing the Edit Page

‌The Edit page in dual-screen mode‌

To switch which UI elements appear on which monitors:

Choose Workspace > Primary Display > (Monitor Name), which reverses the contents of both monitors in dual screen mode.

The default layout is quite efficient for a number of tasks on most displays. You can always return to the default layout by choosing Workspace > Reset UI Layout. However, the Edit page can be customized to create more room for specific areas of the interface to accommodate different tasks.

To resize any area of the Edit page:

— Drag the vertical or horizontal border between any two panels to enlarge one and shrink the other.

To expand the width of the Timeline:

— Click the Media Pool/Effects Library/Edit Index height button to reduce the area used by the Media Pool, Effects Library, and/or Edit Index to shrink to half height. At this size, the Media Pool/ Effects Library/Edit Index are restricted to the top of the UI (you can only show one at a time), and the Timeline takes up the full width of your display.

— Hiding the Edit Index and the Effects Library causes the Timeline to expand to the full width of your screen.

To resize the height of individual video or audio tracks:

— Move the pointer to the top border of any video track header, or the bottom border of any audio track header, and when it becomes a resize cursor, drag that border up or down to resize that track. Each track can have an independent size when you do this.
