# Menu Bar
Contains a list of menus. You open menus and then choose commands from them to instruct VidEdit to perform actions.	

# Edit Area

Saves the current file in the .AVI format (same as the Save command on the File menu).

# Current Position and Total Length
The first figure (before the slash) identifies the position of the current frame. The second figure specifies the total length of the video sequence.
You can use frame units or time units within VidEdit. For information about changing units, see Adjusting the Look of VidEdit.	

# Edit Mode
Identifies the current edit mode. INS indicates insert mode; OVR indicates overwrite mode. You can double-click this region to toggle between modes.
In insert mode, deleting frames causes the following frames to move forward in the video sequence, and the total length of the sequence is shortened by the number of frames deleted. Inserting frames increases the length of the video sequence.
In overwrite mode, deleting frames removes the frame information but leaves the time space intact, so the total length of the sequence remains the same. Inserting frames overwrites any information at the insertion location.	

# Palette Change Indicator
Specifies whether the palette changes with the current frame. 
If this box contains the letter P, the current frame redefines the palette. If no P is present, the current frame uses the same palette as the previous frame.	

# Key Frame Indicator
Specifies whether the current frame is a key frame. If this box contains the letter K, the current frame is a key frame.
A key frame is a frame in which the full image is stored (as opposed to the differences from the last frame).	

# Data Tracks Indicator
Identifies data tracks selected for editing. You can activate the video track, audio track, or both. 
Editing operations only affect active data tracks.
