The
Esc
key (or Escape key) is used to exit from screens or abort the
current operation. For example, pressing
Esc
in Preview Mode will return
you to the Sequence Editor.
The mouse is used to move a pointer around the television screen. There are
two buttons on the mouse. The mouse is used as follows:
To move the pointer, simply put your hand over the mouse and move.
The pointer will move around on the screen in the same direction that
you move your hand.
Pressing the left-hand button once is referred to as a "
Left Click
", or
simply a "
Click
". Pressing the right hand button is referred to as a
"
Right Click
".
Pressing the left button twice in quick succession is referred to as a
"
Double Click
".
In some cases, you can also use the mouse to "
Drag and Drop
" items,
such as screens in the Sequence Editor. To drag and drop an item, first
use the mouse to move the pointer over the item you wish to drag. Next,
press and hold down the left mouse button. With the left mouse button
still held down, move the mouse. When the item has reached its new
location, release the left mouse button.
