Possible to see cut points when using a timeline as source?

PostFri Dec 18, 2020 10:50 am

Hey all! I'm fairly new to DR, so this might be a stupid question. My workflow for my current project looks like this: Shoot for about 4-5 days, take the best bits of the individual days and put those in a timeline for that day (e.g, timeline day 1, timeline day 2 etc.) Then I make a new timeline and pick out all the best bits of those previous timelines, for a compilation. I'm wondering if it's possible to see cut points when using a timeline as source on the edit page? So that I also could just add whole clips without setting in and out marks, like how the CLIP button on the speed editor works in the cut page when working with source tape.

There's no way to 'see' the individual clips when you load a timeline into the Source Viewer, but the standard navigation controls will work (Up/Down arrow), so it's easy to move around in there.

You can also open more than one timeline if you activate Stacked Timelines in the Timeline View Options.
My Biases:

You NEED training.
You NEED a desktop.
You NEED a calibrated (non-computer) display.

Thanks for the reply, I'll check stacked timelines out
