Zooms the display to show only the selected strips.

Frame All (Alles tonen) Home

Zooms the display to show all strips.

Navigation (Navigatie)

Play Animation Spacebar

Start or stop animation playback. This will start playback in all editors.

Go to Current Frame Numpad0

Scrolls the timeline so the current frame is in the center.

Jump to Previous Strip PageDown

Moves the playhead to the nearest strip border (start or end) that’s before the current frame.

Jump to Next Strip PageUp

Moves the playhead to the nearest strip border (start or end) that’s after the current frame.

Range (Bereik)

Set Preview Range P

Interactively define the frame range used for preview playback/rendering.

As long as this range is active, playback will be limited to it, letting you repeatedly view a segment of the video without having to manually rewind each time. It also limits the range that gets rendered by Sequence Render Animation (see below).

Set Preview Range to Strips

Apply a preview range that encompasses the selected strips.

Clear Preview Range Alt-P

Clears the preview range.

Set Start Frame Ctrl-Home

Set the Start frame of the scene to the current frame.

Set End Frame Ctrl-End

Set the End frame of the scene to the current frame.

Set Frame Range to Strips

Set the Start and End frames of the scene so they encompass the selected strips.

---

Sequence Render Image

Show the current frame preview as a Render Result where you can save it as an image file.

Sequence Render Animation

Save previews of the frames in the scene range (or the preview range, if active) to a video file or a series of image files. See the Output panel for details.

Notitie

Sequence Render Image and Sequence Render Animation don’t render the final video by default – specifically, they don’t render Scene Strips, instead using the preview’s shading mode (which is initially Solid).

To output a video where the Scene Strips are rendered, use the Render menu in the top-bar, or change Sidebar ‣ View ‣ Scene Strip Display ‣ Shading to Rendered. The latter option is only available if the Video Sequencer is in the Preview or Sequencer & Preview mode.

---

Export Subtitles

Exports Text strips, which can act as subtitles, to a SubRip file (.srt). The exported file contains all Text strips in the video sequence.

---

Toggle Sequencer/Preview Ctrl-Tab

Switch the editor mode between Sequencer and Preview.

---

Area (Oppervlak)

Area controls. See the user interface documentation for more information.

Marker Menu

Markers are used to denote frames with key points or significant events within an animation. Like with most animation editors, markers are shown at the bottom of the editor.

Markers in animation editor.

See Editing Markers for details.

Main View

Adjusting the View

Use these shortcuts to adjust the view:

• Pan: MMB

• Horizontal scroll: use Ctrl-Wheel, or drag the horizontal scrollbar.

• Vertical scroll: use Shift-Wheel, or drag the vertical scrollbar.

• Zoom: Wheel

• Scale view: Ctrl-MMB and drag left/right (horizontal scale) or up/down (vertical scale). Alternatively, you can drag the circles on the scrollbars with LMB.

Playhead

The Playhead is the blue vertical line with the current time at the top. It can be moved in the following ways:

• Jump or scrub: click or drag LMB in the scrubbing area at the top of the timeline.

• Jump or scrub (alternative): click or drag Shift-RMB anywhere in the timeline. If you start dragging on a strip, that strip will be highlighted and displayed solo in the preview (all other strips are temporarily muted).

• Move in single-frame increments: Left, Right, or Alt-Wheel.

• Jump to the start or end frame of the scene (or preview range, if active): Shift-Left or Shift-Right.

While dragging with LMB or Shift-RMB, you can additionally hold Ctrl to snap to the start and end points of strips.

If scrubbing (or regular playback) performs poorly, you can speed it up by creating proxies.

Hint

The current frame is synchronized across all editors, so if you move the Playhead in the Timeline editor for example, it will move in the Video Sequence editor as well (and vice versa).
