Click the + at the right end of the Program Monitor's button bar. The Button Editor opens.

The buttons you can add

  • Mark In, Mark Out, Mark Clip, Clear In, Clear Out, Go to In, Go to Out
  • Add Marker, Go to Previous Marker, Go to Next Marker, Go to Previous Edit, Go to Next Edit
  • Step Back, Play / Stop, Step Forward, Shuttle Left, Shuttle Right, Play In to Out, Play Around, Loop
  • Lift, Extract, Trim Monitor, Export Frame
  • Safe Margins, Transparency Grid, Comparison View, Show Rulers, Show Guides
  • Toggle Proxies, Multi-Camera View
  • a Space between groups

Change the bar

  • Drag a button into the bar, or click it to add it at the end.
  • Drag a button along the bar to move it.
  • Drag it out of the bar, or double-click it, to remove it.
  • Reset Layout puts back the buttons the bar ships with.
  • OK keeps your bar. Cancel leaves it as it was.

How the buttons work

  • Each button runs the menu command of the same name, with the same shortcut.
  • Buttons that switch something on, such as Safe Margins, Rulers and Guides, are lit while it is on.
  • When the panel is narrow, the first buttons stay and » holds the rest.

Until you change it, the bar is the same as before, with the + at the end. The Source Monitor's bar does not change.

Included in every plan and in the 3-day free trial.
