Options for Displaying Duplicate Frames
Indicating duplicate frames is useful primarily for movies you plan to finish on film
(using Cinema Tools) or that will be edited online in a tape-to-tape edit suite. In both
instances, it’s important to know if the same frames are being used in more than one
place in the Timeline because special measures must be taken to create these duplicate
frames later. If you can see where there are duplicate frames in advance, you can reedit
your sequence to eliminate the duplicates, if necessary.
