Contact Sheet

The contact sheet is the best way to find cuts the detector missed. Click Find Missing Cuts (or press `) and every frame of the current shot is laid out in a grid. A missed cut is easy to spot: the picture suddenly changes.

Add a missing cut

1. Look through the frames of the shot for the point where a new shot begins.
2. Click the first frame of the new shot (or move to it with the arrow keys).
3. Press C.

That's it. The cut is added to the Shots Table and stays there, even if you change the threshold later.

Find your way around

• The Spike Graph zooms in to only show the spikes of the current shot, which helps to spot a missed cut inside it.
• A small graph map above the main graph shows where the current shot sits within the whole clip.
• Use the sliders under the sheet to change the brightness and size of the thumbnails. Brighten dark shots, or enlarge the frames to compare details.

Keys for the contact sheet

• Page Up / Page Down move to the previous or next shot.
• Left / Right select the previous or next frame.
• Up / Down select the frame above or below.
• ` switches back to the graph.

The selected frame has an orange outline.
