Applies to 0.11Updated 5 Nov 20261 min read

The Program Monitor can show the timecode, the clip name and a dropped frame indicator. The Source Monitor's clip name opens a menu of recent clips.

Overlays on the Program Monitor

In the monitor's Playback Resolution menu (or the » menu when the bar is narrow), under Overlays:

  • Show Timecode;
  • Show Clip Name: the clip on top at the playhead;
  • Show Dropped Frame Indicator: frames not drawn since playing started, green at 0.

Overlays are on the monitor only, never in an export.

Recent Source clips

Click the clip name in the Source Monitor's top-left corner for a menu of the last 10 clips opened there, with Close This Clip and Close All Clips.
