Finding Flash Frames

In some cases, you might have inadvertently placed some stray frames in your sequence.

For purposes of definition, a flash frame refers to a clip that has an extremely short

duration. This is as opposed to, say, a clip that has a camera flash at the end of it—for

example, a film clip that has a white flash at the end where an assistant checked the gate

or any other longer clip in which something occurred that was not intended as part of

the shot. So there can be unwanted flash frames or flash frames intended to stylize a

sequence. The Find Flash Frames function is intended for use with unwanted flash frames.

In any case, Find Flash Frames can assist you in locating particular elements that

were placed in your sequence but need to be deleted.

To set up Find Flash Frames:

1. Go to the Project window and click the Settings tab.

2. Double-click the current Timeline Settings.

3. In the Timeline Settings menu, click the Edit tab (see Figure 4.32).

In the Find Flash Frames Shorter Than option, enter the maximum number of

frames that you are searching for. In other words if you know that you have used edits

with 20 frame durations in your sequence, you might type in the number 20 or lower

to avoid hitting those edits.

The system will detect flash frames of 19 frames or lower.

To find flash frames, do the following:

1. Click the Timeline.

2. Go to the beginning of the section in which you want to search for flash frames

and park your position indicator there.

3. Right-click (Windows) or Shift-Control-click (Mac) the Timeline.

4. From this menu, select Find Flash Frame (see Figure 4.33).
