8.7.4 The Preview Controls
In addition to moving the scrub bar cursor manually you can control it
via the preview controls below the scrub bar, e.g. the play button. In
detail the controls beneath the scrub bar perform the following func-
tions:
A preview can also be controlled with some of the keyboard
shortcuts described in section “Keyboard Shortcuts” on
page A-7.
Depending on the statuses of EDL events (see section “The Tab
’EDL Clips’” on page 8-31), some controls may not be avail-
able (e.g. a play-out cannot be performed with material on a
remote system).
The TIMELINE/EDL button is a toggle button. If
it is activated, its label will be changed to ’EDL’
( ) and the contents of the EDL will be dis-
played in the preview area.
If this button is deactivated, its label will show
’Timeline’ and the contents of the timeline at
the current position of the timeline cursor will be
displayed in the preview area.
For further information about this button see
section “Selecting Contents for Viewing” on
page 8-61.
With these buttons you can step one frame for-
or backward in the displayed contents. The
scrub bar cursor will move accordingly.
With this button you can play-out the displayed
contents backwards, i.e. it will start a reverse
play-out. Once activated, the button changes
its appearance to its active state. To stop the re-
verse play-out you have to click it again.
With this button you can play out the contents
that is currently displayed. After activation the
button changes its appearance to its active state
( ) and you have to press it again
to stop the play.
With this button activated a play of the dis-
played contents will be performed endlessly in a
loop: Once the scrub bar cursor reaches the end
of the contents, the play will start from the be-
ginning again. To switch off the loop mode sim-
ply click this button again.
