Visual Editor Drawer
There are a number of items in the editor drawer:
Timeline: The horizontal blue bar represents the overall length of the recording.
Light blue sections mark the clips of video. The yellow section in the screenshot
is the currently selected clip. The currently selected clip can also be saved as
a QuickTime movie or EyeTV recording. In this example, the selected clips are
commercials that will be discarded later.

Playhead: A large triangle above the timeline indicates which point in the
recording is currently playing (or paused). Use the spacebar to toggle between
play and pause. All navigational features of the EyeTV Remote and menus are
also available, e.g. Fast Forward, Reverse, and so on. (see Chapter 8, Advanced

Thumbnails: The top row of small pictures represents the beginnings of
individual scenes in the recording. There are two levels of detail for the
thumbnails. When Normal resolution is selected, each thumbnail starts at the
beginning of a scene transition, as determined by the EyeTV hardware. When
Fine is chosen, the thumbnail is at the beginning of groups of pictures, usually
around 15 frames, which represent approximately half a second of video.

recording. There are no markers visible for a new recording.
