11. Playback & Playout
cont.
Once a file has been selected for playback, you will see the following
options:
Scrub Bar
This is the thick blue line along the bottom of the playback screen. A
vertical white “now” line shows the current playback position. You can
think of the scrub bar as representing the length of the clip. If you touch
the scrub bar, playback will start from that position.
Simply by running your finger along the scrub bar, you can move
forwards or backwards through any clip - even if it is eight hours long - at
any speed.
Play/Pause
This is the master playback start/stop control and is found to the right
of the scrub bar. It toggles between play and stop.
The remaining play controls have two modes depending on whether the
Samurai Blade is in Play or Pause.
Play mode
Fast Reverse/Fast Forward
Plays the clip at 8x normal speed
Fast Fast Reverse/Fast Fast Forward
Plays the clip at 64x normal speed
Pause mode
Frame Reverse/Frame Forward
Moves the clip forward/backward by a single frame
Go to end/Go to start
Goes directly to the beginning/end of the current clip
Note that you can jump between any of the controls while in playback:
you do not have to press Stop first.
Previous/Next Clip
Move between the previous and next clips for playback.
