Tracking Format Options
The Tracking Information menu contains a number of options for information to display above the monitors.
The following is a summary of the contents of the menu:
  The upper portion of the menu lists options for summary information, such as master timecode (Mas), duration of the entire clip (Dur), IN to OUT duration (I/O), absolute timecode (Abs), and time remaining (Rem).
  The second portion of the menu lists options for displaying the timecode for a specific track (V2, V1, A1, A2, and so forth). This list contains options only for the tracks existing in the currently loaded clip or sequence. For example, a clip with only one audio track does not show an option for A2. See Displaying the Timecode Window.
  The third portion displays the Clip Name for the track that you select from a submenu. The name displayed is continuously updated based on the location of the position indicator.
  If you have AvidáXpress Pro and a matchback project, additional information is displayed about timecode, footage, and frames. For more information about matchback projects, see How Matchback Works.
When you are working with a 24p or 25p project, the Timecode submenu allows you to choose an output timecode format, and the Footage submenu allows you to choose a supported film type.
  The bottom portion allows you to select None to turn off the display.
  The Tracking Information menu contains the same options as the Timecode pop-up menu. For more information about the Timecode window, see Displaying the Timecode Window.
The following table presents the tracking format options.
