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.
