The Viewing panel gives you different visual representations of the clips in the Media panel.
From the View mode box, you can select from the following views:
- Desktop Reels: Displays reels onto which you place clips and sequences. Clips and sequences can be edited and played back from the reels.
The contents of reels can also be displayed in thumbnail view, by enabling the View icon next to reel when in thumbnail view.
- Thumbnail: Displays the clips within the selected Media panel folder / reel as thumbnails.
- Player: Displays and plays back the selected clip in a player.
- Source - Sequence: Displays and plays back the selected source clip and sequence in two side by side players.
- Triptych Player: Displays and plays back one or multiple clips in three side by side players. This can be useful for colour matching, for
example.
