The node time values for the objects can be displayed. This is a very practical feature if you want to find out about the duration of dissolves or the display time of picture objects.
Mark one or more nodes, and their values are displayed in a little flag.
Node values can also be displayed permanently or the display be disabled by clicking View – Display node values in the main menu and choosing the corresponding type of display.
The type of node value displayed (%, dB, DMX, degree) can be chosen arbitrarily. Right-click a node and select Properties. After selecting the type of value, all node values of an object are displayed accordingly.
For nearly all objects the duration, i.e. the length of an object in seconds, can be displayed in the info line.
In the function bar below the main menu click 
Options and select Global Options – Objects followed by the appropriate object type. If this entry is not visible, click on the plus sign next to Global Options.
Enable Show duration for those object types of for which the display duration is to be shown in the info line.
For media without time dimension, e.g. pictures, texts or data, individual default settings can be made for object creation. See Options - Global Options - Objects.
