Finding Flash Frames
The Find Flash Frames command helps you quickly find parts of your sequence that you might want to delete from the final sequence. Flash frames are clips that have an extremely short duration, for example, less than 30 frames.
To find flash frames:
1.  Check or set the maximum frame length that you want the system to detect:
a.  Click the Settings tab in the Project Window.
b.  Double-click Timeline.
c.  Click the Edit tab.
d.  In the option "Find Flash Frames Shorter Than n frames," indicate the maximum number of frames you want the system to detect. The default is 10, which tells the system to detect clips with 9áframes or fewer.
e.  Click OK.
2.  Click the Timeline window to activate it.
3.  Select the tracks you want to search.
4.  Park the position indicator at the beginning of the sequence or before the part of the sequence you want to search.
5.  Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl+Shift+click (Macintosh) in the Timeline, and select Find Flash Frames.
The position indicator moves to the first flash frame.
To find the next flash frame:
  Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl+Shift+click (Macintosh) in the Timeline, and select Find Flash Frames again.
