+First it is important to know what an EDL is. When \CGG{} saves a file, it saves the EDL,
+Edit Decision List, of your project which contains all the settings and locations of edits
+and pointers to the media so that the media is not modified. The EDL is described in the
+Load, Save and the EDL chapter (\ref{sec:edl_edit_decision_list}).

\section{Program Window}%
\label{sec:program_window}
This timeline consists of a vertical stack of tracks with time represented horizontally on the track.
It is the output of the rendering operations and this is what is saved when you run the File pulldown, Save command.
Immediately to the left of the timeline is the patchbay. The patchbay contains options that affect each track.
-These options are described in great detail in the Editing section (\ref{sec:patchbay}).

The \textit{Window} pulldown on the main window contains options
that affect the 4 main windows. The first 3 options are used to
There is: \emph{drag and drop mode} and \emph{cut and paste mode}.
The editing mode is determined by selecting the \texttt{arrow}, or immediately to the right of the arrow,
the \texttt{I-beam} in the Transport and Buttons bar. In figure~\ref{fig:insertion-points} you can see
-the green colored highlight on the arrow icon indicating that you are currently in

\emph{drag and drop mode}.
With the arrow highlighted for \emph{drag and drop mode}, a double click with the left mouse button in the timeline selects the edit the mouse pointer is over.
The \texttt{Fade}: textbox is used to type in a fade value; the tumbler to the right of the textbox allows you to increase or decrease that number; and the slider bar makes it quick to adjust the fade value. The fader goes from $-100$ on the left to $+100$ on the right for negative to positive. Default value is $+100$. The fade slider includes a sticky point at 0 so that it is easy to get to 0 without going too far or not quite far enough -- that way you don’t have to keep jiggling to get there.
-In addition there is a \textit{Gang fader} symbol to allow for having all of the masks fade in unison. The symbol is surrounded by a green colored background (in the default theme) when it is in effect. If you have multiple masks with different modes, a decision had to be made on what value to use -- it uses the maximum transparency value of the background to determine the operations results. To understand how this works, here is a summary:

Note1: The area outside the mask is referred to as the background.
In both the Viewer and Compositor windows, there is an arrow on the right hand side of the other
buttons in the edit panel as shown in figure~\ref{fig:viewer_window}. The "play" button can be
-toggled on/off via this arrow, which has a tooltip of \textit{Click to play}. When enabled there

The purpose of enabling this capability is to make it really easy to play the media in the window
by just using the left mouse button to start or stop the play. The entire main canvas surface
becomes a big play button! Although the default is initially off, a good reason to enable this,
contents highlighted for ease of use so you can see what is or is not loaded, or unset the highlight.
\item[Sort items] to sort the contents of the folder alphabetically. Especially helpful if you accidentally did a
drag and changed your mind or dropped suddenly so that the assets no longer look nicely aligned.
- \item[Copy/Paste file list] use to easily copy a set of files or paste a set of files between Cin and windows.
- \item[Snapshot/Grabshot] described elsewhere in more detail.
+ \item[Copy/Paste file list] use to easily copy a set of files or paste a set of files between \CGG{} and other programs or operating system windows.
+ \item[Snapshot/Grabshot] use to take a quick snapshot or to grab a specific area on the screen. These functions are described in detail in section \ref{sub:snapshot_grabshot}).
\end{description}
Using the right mouse click to bring up a menu in the folder area, you can also switch from Display text to Display icons, Sort items and create, delete and manipulate user defined folders/bins. Select Folder to create a user Folder or modify an existing folder.
The compositor has zoom capability.
The pull-down menu on the bottom of the compositor window has a number of zoom options.
When set to Auto the video is zoomed to match the compositor window size as closely as possible.
-When set to any other percentage, the video is zoomed a power of 2 and scrollbars can be used to scroll around the output.
When the video is zoomed bigger than the window size, you can use scrollbars to scan around or if the zoom icon is enabled, the middle mouse button can be used to zoom in or out the video.
The zoom toggle also causes the Compositor window to enter zoom mode.
Color Coded Keyframe Curves are a big feature in the \textit{Show Overlays} window because by changing the colors to suit the user, it helps to remove confusion from multiple curves on the track canvas.
They can be viewed from the pulldown menu of \texttt{Window $\rightarrow$ Show overlays} but they will operate the same as when used from the View pulldown menu.
The \textit{Color Coded Keyframe Curves} have distinct colors associated with each type for ease of identification.
-By clicking button 1 on the \textit{Color Ball} to the right of any keyframe type in the \textit{Show overlays} menu you have the ability to change the colors to whatever works best for your video.
+By clicking LMB on the \textit{Color Ball} to the right of any keyframe type in the \textit{Show overlays} menu you have the ability to change the colors to whatever works best for your video.
The color ball changes made will be retained across sessions.
There is a line separating the first 4 items, which are just non-automation type settable values as opposed to \textit{auto} keyframe types.
