Edit Mode Play Controls and Scrub Bar
Below the video display is a Scrub Bar that allows you to click and drag along the loaded
sequence to view individual frames and mark In and Out frames for playback of frame subsets.
To set an in-point, click on the left bracket. To set an out-point, click on the right bracket.
Alternatively, you can set an in-point by clicking on the left most hot-text numeral below the
bar and enter the desired frame number for an in-point. Similarly, enter the out-point frame
by clicking on the right side hot-text numeral.
Note:
The “first” or “last” frame may be for the entire sequence or for frames in a in/out-
marked subset. In this case, first, last, in, and out frames become “Most Significant
Frames.” For example, clicking on the Go-to-1st button will move you to the first Most
Significant Frame to the left. Clicking on the Go-to-Next button will move you to the first
Most Significant Frame to the right.
