Playback user interface
Transport controls
Fullscreen, playback mode [fullscreen]
The second main user interface is the play-
back screen, which is very similar to the
main record interface, with the addition of
playback specific tools, mainly the transport
controls, and includes displays with relevant
information for the currently queued clip, in-
cluduing output settings, project, scene and
take names, timecode display, and access to
all commonly used tools.
The information displays are static and do
not lead to menus, since the information
comes from the recorded file.
When in playback, full screen mode,
touching the screen will briefly bring up
the transport and overlay controls.
These controls will disappear after 2-3
seconds after the screen is last touched.
Transport controls include:
Go to beginning
Fast reverse
Play
Fast forward
Go to end
Loop
Back-and-forth
Set in/out points
