To play video in the Source and Program Monitors
The Source and Program Monitors contain several controls that resemble the playback controls on a video deck. Use
the Source Monitor controls to play or cue a clip. Use the Program Monitor controls to play or view the active
sequence.
Most playback controls have keyboard equivalents. When you want to use keyboard shortcuts to control playback,
make sure that the monitor you want is active. Click the video image in the monitor you want to activate. When a
monitor is active, it displays blue bars above and below the video display area.
