an application) by dragging the object and letting it drop using the mouse cursor.

control various parameters by sliding the fader. A very common example for this is the
zoom slider that lets you see a picture in more detail.
Field

very similar to text input fields, but have a button with a downward-pointing symbol
on the right-hand side.
Frame
A frame is a single image from a video sequence which also called a full image.
A PAL video contains 25 frames per second; NTSC contains 29.97 frames.

Handles are the five little rectangles at the edges of selected objects. All curve points
can be moved by holding down the left mouse button.
Length handles: Bottom right and bottom left. You can use them to change the length
of an object.
Fade handles: Top right and top left. These can be used to softly fade an object in or
out.
