Changing Frame View in Avid Express Pro
By default, Avid's Frame view displays the first frame of each clip in the bin. You can, however, change the displayed frame with a frame that has meaning to you or a frame that actually identifies the clip.
To change the frame identifying the clip:
Select the clip that you want to change by single clicking on it.
Do one of the following:
Press and hold the K key on the keyboard (Pause), and press the L key (Play) to roll the footage within the frame forward at slow speed. To move backward through the footage, press and hold the K key and press the J key (Reverse Play).
Press the 3 key or the 4 key on the keyboard (Step Forward or Step Backward) to move from frame to frame.When you see the frame that you want use, release the keys.
The Avid application saves the displayed frame as part of the bin configuration.
I find it very helpful to go through all of my clips and set them so that I have a frame that makes sense to me.
