• Keyframe graph ruler: Corresponds to the duration of the clip or the location of a clip
in a sequence:
• If a clip is opened from the Browser: The keyframe graph ruler shows the duration of
the clip itself. The playhead in the Viewer moves independently of the playhead in
the Timeline or Canvas.
• If a clip is opened from a sequence in the Timeline: The keyframe graph ruler shows
the section of the Timeline that the clip is edited into. The playhead in the Viewer is
locked to the playhead in the Timeline and the Canvas.
• Section of clip currently used: The frames of a clip in the Viewer that are outside the
duration specified by its In and Out points are dimmed so that you know where to
apply your keyframes.
• Current Timecode field: Displays the position of the playhead in the keyframe graph
area. You can enter a new timecode value to move the playhead to another position.
