You can Control-click a clip with duplicate frames to see a shortcut menu with the Dupe
Frames option. Choose this option to see a list of all clips that contain duplicates of the
frames in the selected clip. Each item in this list contains the number of duplicated frames,
the timecode value of the first duplicated frame, and the name of the clip that contains
the duplicates. When you select an item in this list, the playhead moves to the first
duplicated frame in the clip that corresponds to that item.

Navigating in the Timeline

There are several ways you can navigate through your sequence in the Timeline:

• Move the playhead by clicking or dragging in the ruler at the top of the Timeline

window.

Note: The playhead in the Timeline is locked to the playhead in the Canvas, and both
windows mirror each other. The Canvas displays the frame currently at the position of
the playhead in the Timeline, whether it’s playing or stopped.

• Enter a new absolute or relative timecode value in the Current Timecode field.

• Use the same shortcuts you’d use in the Canvas to navigate through and play your

edited sequence. For more information, see

“Navigating in the Viewer and Canvas.”

Positioning the Playhead Using the Ruler

Moving the playhead in the Timeline ruler works in the same way as moving the playhead
in the scrubber bar in the Canvas or Viewer.
