An additional filter appears above the
File Pane
(Figure 140). This filter quickly locates files matching criteria
you enter, doing so even as you type. For example, if you enter “wav” into the filter field, the
File Pane
displays
all content at the current location with that string as part of its filename. This would include any file with the
extension “.wav” (WAVE audio file format), but also “wavingman.jpg” or “lightwave_render.avi”.

Right-click on a file icon in the
right-hand
pane to show a menu providing
Rename
and

options. Be
aware that
Delete
really does remove content from your hard drive. This menu is not shown if the item
clicked is write-protected.

During playback, the uppermost timecode field beside the transport controls displays the current countdown
time for active playlist item or for the entire playlist when the
Playlist
mode button is enabled. (As mentioned
earlier, the time show below is the embedded clip timecode.) Left-click the field to type in a timecode, then
press
Enter
to jump to that point in the file (
or
playlist).
Hint: The time display and scrub bar color provides visual indication that the playback is nearing its end. Ten
seconds before the end of play for the current item, the digits in the time display and the scrub bar background
turn amber. With only five seconds left, the color changes to red.

Normally,
Media Player
playback
stops
when the
Out Point
of the current playlist item
is reached (unless
Loop
is also enabled, in which case playback of the current item
repeats until manually interrupted).
Clicking the
Playlist
mode button (Figure 142) tells the
Media Player
to operate in
continuous play mode, advancing through the playlist items until the last one has
played.
