ABSTRACT

This chapter takes the reader through a detailed look at each of the components in the system's interface. It looks at each of its windows in turn. The Browser also shows the type of audio, frame size, and frame rate (in the case of the clips, 29.97 frames per second, the standard frame rate for all NTSC video). The chapter includes discussions on browser window in medium icon view, button holder shortcut menu, viewer buttons, view pop-up menu, and canvas window. If the user changes the Poster frame for a clip or in any other Browser window, the poster will change for each instance of that clip anywhere in the Browser and will also display as the poster when the Browser is set to Icon view. To load a clip into the Viewer, the user should double-click on it or select it and press Return key. The user can also change views by selecting View>Browser Items. The use should remember to try right-clicking to bring up shortcut menus.
