disable realtime timeline update?

[pete321]

is there any way to have it so the thumbnail images on the timeline are not continually updated when you zoom/scroll etc?

i have a decent computer, 1 gig ram, good processor, but my current project has like 10 tracks of video and whenever i zoom/out of timeline it reloads the thumbnails and i get performance issues. In actuality, i don't even need them since i know the times in the events that i'm working with that i need to go to.

second question (sorry to sneak in) Is there anyway to have the timeline show the time for each individual event as opposed to whole project. For example, lets say i have a 30 minute event on a track. I prewatched and i know the section i need to cut out and edit is at 4:55 of that event. However, because the timeline counts the whole project, i have to do alot of math and its a slow process, lets say event starts at 55, then i do 55 + 4.55, it's a bit tedious

thanks in advance for answers to both

You can do one or the other, but I don't see a way to do both.

You can display the clip's individual timecode on the clip, but you need to have the thumbnails activated to do it. (Options>Preferences>Video; "Show source frame numbers on event thumbnails as" -- dropdown -- Timecode)

Or, you can disable the thumbnails (ctrl+shft+W), but then you can't display the timecode.
