When more than one person is in a project, Sequence mirrors another editor's view onto your screen so you can watch where they're working. Following is live: as they switch timelines, scroll, and zoom, your view moves with theirs — useful for reviewing a change together or catching up on what someone just did.
Everyone currently in the project appears as a row of avatars in the header. Sequence shows up to five of these collaborator avatars, each in that person's assigned color; if more than five people are present, a ＋ count stands in for the rest.
Start following someone#
- In Sequence, open the project you're both working in so the collaborator avatars appear in the header.
- Click the avatar of the person you want to follow.
Sequence switches you to the timeline that editor is viewing and syncs to their zoom and viewport, so you see what they see. The avatar you clicked gains a highlighted ring, and a frame appears around the timeline in that editor's color to remind you whose view you're mirroring. As they move through the project, your view follows.
Note
Following mirrors a collaborator's timeline view — which timeline they're on, and how they've zoomed and scrolled it. It doesn't take control of your editing: you can still make your own selections and changes while you follow.
Stop following#
Do any of the following:
- Click the same avatar again to stop following that person.
- Click anywhere outside the collaborator avatars in the header.
- Scroll or zoom the timeline yourself.
Following ends, the colored frame around the timeline disappears, and your view stays wherever it landed.
Tip
To review a cut with people who aren't in the project, send them a screening instead — they get a shareable player and comment panel without editing access. See Share a screening for review.
