Learn about the Info panel and discover the details available for selected clips in the timeline.
The Info panel displays several data about a selected item, and timecode information for clips under the current-time indicator in the timeline.
At the top of the panel, information is displayed for the current selection. This information varies depending on its media type, the active panel, and so on. For example, the Info panel displays information unique to an empty space in the Timeline panel, or a clip in the Project panel.
- Video: Indicates frame rate, frame size, and pixel aspect ratio, in that order.
- Audio: Indicates sample rate, bit depth, and channels, in that order.
- Tape: Indicates the name of the tape.
- In: Indicates the In point timecode of the selected clip.
- Out: Indicates the Out point timecode of the selected clip.
- Duration: Indicates the duration of the selected clip.
The section below the current selection data contains the timecode values for the active sequence and for clips in each of its video and audio tracks. These values are displayed in a stacking order that matches the timeline for easy visual correlation. Video track timecodes are displayed with the highest track number on top, and audio tracks are displayed with the highest track number on the bottom. The only time this section is blank is when all sequences are closed.
When a track is added to or deleted from the current sequence, the Info panel updates to accurately display the number of tracks in the sequence. There is no limit on the number of tracks displayed. Similarly, when the user switches to a different sequence, the Info panel updates to display the correct number of tracks in that sequence.
The Info panel displays timecode for the current selection and for all track items under the current-time indicator. When the playhead crosses a blank area in the timeline, no timecode value is displayed for that track, but the track label remains visible and undimmed. The vertical stack layout of the timecodes is easily correlated with the physical layout of the tracks in the sequence.
