The Time Display
The Time display can be used for more than simply displaying your current position, though this is a needed tool on its own. In the past, I have used the display for all sort of uses, including as a large free floating location display that is readable from across the studio. But really there are a few other tricks that it can be used for.
First, the basics. The time display can be docked or free floating as we talked about last month in part 2 of “Customizing the GUI.” Right clicking on the display brings up the menu that allows you to change the look, the color, and the font. It also leads to more menus where you can really open up the usefulness of this little time display.

The “Current field” menu allows you to re-assign the element in the
display from the default position to one of many other elements.
Selecting the “Mouse Position” changes the display to read out the
exact position for the mouse pointer.
The Mixer value shows you the value of the fader or knob or slider,
any element that you are moving on the mixer.
You can also choose, using the number of rows, to set up multiple
read outs as seen here in this example.
Up to five lines can be used, again either docked or free floating.
Each time referring element can then be further defined using the
“Units of Measurement” menu. Here you can create a setup to show
bars and beats, and SMPTE and CD time. You can also open multiple
time displays by clicking on the “New Time Display” in the menu.
These too may be customized by either docked or free floating, and
all available units of measurements are available too.
In this picture of the expanded menus, you can see the option to set
up Source and Destination marker read outs (Sequoia Only) allowing
you to set up a display to help you keep track of S/D editing across
multiple VIPs.
Hopefully you will take time to experiment with these different options. I hope they will make production life easier for you.
