Note that even still images and static title pages added to the playlist are given a play duration. The default
duration for these items is five seconds. Duration can be adjusted on an item by item basis (or as noted
earlier, en masse for multi-selected stills or title pages).
During playback, the footer of playlist items illuminates as each is played in turn. When necessary, the
playlist pane scrolls to display the icon for the currently playing item. A progress bar is displayed beneath
the currently playing thumbnail, and the
Scrub-Bar knob also tracks playback progress.
Hint: Selection status is independent of which clip is playing. Selected items have a white border in the Playlist
pane.
