Editing 60 Minutes (section)

===Opening sequence===
The opening sequence features a ''60 Minutes'' "magazine cover" with the show's trademark, an [[TAG Heuer|Aristo]] [[stopwatch]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/stopwatch-from-60-minutes|title=Just Because: The Stopwatch From 60 Minutes, A Cultural Treasure|first1=Cole|last1=Pennington|website=Hodinkee|date=September 6, 2019}}</ref> intercut with preview clips of the episode's stories. The sequence ends with each of the correspondents and hosts introducing themselves. The last host who appears (currently [[Scott Pelley]]) then says, "Those stories tonight on ''60 Minutes''". When Rooney was a prominent fixture, the final line was "Those stories and Andy Rooney, tonight on ''60 Minutes''". Before that, and whenever Rooney did not appear, the final line was "Those stories and more, tonight on ''60 Minutes''".

The stopwatch counts off each of the broadcast's 60 minutes, starting from zero at the beginning of each show. It is seen during the opening title sequence, before each commercial break, and at the tail-end of the closing credits, and each time it appears it displays (within reasonable accuracy) the elapsed time of the episode to that point.

On October 29, 2006, the opening sequence changed from a black background, which had been used for over a decade, to white. Also, the gray background for the Aristo stopwatch in the "cover" changed to red, the color for the title text changed to white, and the stopwatch itself changed from the diagonal position it had been oriented in for 31 years to an upright position.{{Citation needed|date=June 2012}}
