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”.

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.

playback

stops

when the

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.
