Get to know the video viewing screen

Above the video

From left to right:

1. Play / Pause button.
2. Counter, for example, 0:07 / 1:00.

5. LUT button (appears only if you selected a LUT in Settings).
6. Framing button (framing guide).
7. If the image is delayed, the word preparing.

Top of the panel

• The clip’s original filename.
• Its position in queue, for example, 3 / 22.
• A line of details, for example, 1920×1080 · 30 fps · 1:00 · 120 MB.
• If you came from Search, the Why it matched box: the source of the match (Speech, On-screen text, Frame, Filename, Name you gave it, Note …), time, and highlighted excerpt.

You can’t act until the image is ready

Before the video image is ready, you can’t mark a scene with I / O, send it to a folder, or edit a scene. In that case, you’ll see this warning: “The displayed frame could not be verified. Decisions for this clip are paused.”
