Mode and Search our video player in Day Mode. We will search the video

1. Select DayNightMode in Sequences of TUTORIAL then press Enter.
2. Enter the Events as follows:
3. Close the
[DayNightMode] of TUTORIAL
window.

won’t cause more than a frame of inaccuracy, so we won’t use that feature.
At the end of our presentation, we’ll search back to the start and wait on the next
press of the button.
1. Select MainShow in
Sequences of TUTORIAL
