Show a list-based view of your Final Cut Pro project
The timeline index provides a list of the clips, tags (various kinds of markers and keywords), and roles used in your project in the timeline. You can easily filter items in the timeline index to show only the ones you want to see.
You can also use the timeline index to navigate in the timeline. The timeline index playhead appears in the list of items. When you play a project, the playhead moves down the list of items in the timeline index. When you select an item in the timeline index, the playhead automatically moves to the beginning of the item.

In Final Cut Pro, click Index in the top-left corner of the timeline (or press Shift-Command-2).
