Using the Timeline Index

The Timeline Index allows you to view, search, and instantly navigate to everything in your timeline, including Markers, Keywords, clips, Roles, and much more. You can open the Timeline Index by clicking the Index button to the left of the central bar, and you’ll then see it pop up to the left of the timeline:

Figure 10.55: The Timeline Index, showing clips, duplicate ranges, transitions, and the playhead in the current timeline

At the top of this pane, you’ll see a Search field, but before you type anything there, it’s best to focus on the three words just below it: Clips, Tags, and Roles:

Clips includes all the items in the timeline, including video, audio, auditions, Multicam, Compound, and gap clips, as well as transitions. New in 10.6.2: If Duplicate Ranges is checked in the timeline’s appearance drop-down, any repeated clip regions will be shown here with an angled line pattern.
