Switching the Playback Focus between the Source and Sequence Clips

You can switch the focus between the source and sequence viewers by clicking on either of the Source-Sequence viewers, by selecting a track on the timeline, or by selecting the green (source) or red (sequence) tabs above the Player, Source-Sequence, or Triptych viewers.

Clicking the Lock icon that appears when the pointer is hovering over the source-or-sequence tab will lock the focus on that tab. Clicking again unlocks the viewer.

Note: Changing the focus through the timeline will also switch the focus between the Source and Sequence viewers. Changing the focus through the Source-Sequence viewer, however, will not change the focus in the timeline. In other words, the player doesn't drive the timeline, but the timeline drives the player.

To switch the playback focus between the source and sequence clips in the Source-Sequence Player:

  1. Click the Timeline tab.

  2. Do one of the following to select the Source-Sequence Player:

    • Click the Layout button and select Source-Sequence Player.
    • If you've enabled swipe in the preferences, swipe the right swipe bar, then select Source-Sequence Player.

  3. Switch viewers by clicking in either the Source or Sequence viewer, or on the green (Source) or red (Sequence) tab.

    The viewer with the focus has a white outline.
