# Changing the View Mode

You can view clip libraries in either Single, or Dual View mode. The libraries' contents can be viewed in Proxies, Titles, or List View mode. Switch modes by selecting a view from the View Mode box or by pressing P (Proxies), T (Titles), or L (List View).

Viewing Clips in Titles Mode

Use Titles mode to view all the entries in a clip library by name.

To view titles:

1. Do one of the following:
   - From the View Mode box, select Titles.
   - Press T.

In Titles mode, entries are presented as a series of horizontal bars.

The bars consist of the following arrow buttons and fields.

  Click the Expand or Collapse arrow to expand or collapse entries. See Expanding and Collapsing Entries in Titles and Proxies Mode.

The colour of the box surrounding the arrow indicates the type of entry. The colour of the arrow indicates whether contained entries are selected. See Entry Colours.

Name Sort arrow
  Click to alphabetically sort entries by name. See Sorting Entries in Titles and Proxies Mode.
Description field

   - From the View Mode box, select one of three proxies options.
   - Press P.

   The Information box is enabled.
