Playing Back, Searching and Managing Clips Playing Back Clips
You can play back the clip currently selected in the clips panel.
1. In the clips panel, select the clip you want to play back ( ³ ).
• The video display area will show the first frame from the clip.
2. Click to start the playback ( · ) or double-click the clip in the clips area.
• The playback position slider and time code display will advance as the clip is played back.
• During the clip’s playback, the A button will change to C.
• To play back the clip in full screen: Click View > Full Screen. Press the Esc key to end fullscreen
playback. During fullscreen playback you can start/stop the playback and control the playback
position using the keyboard shortcuts (0 18).
3. Click to stop the playback.
• Selecting a different clip in the clips panel will also stop the playback of the current clip.
IMPORTANT
• Several factors, including your computer’s performance and the transfer rate of the CF card, can
affect the playback quality. In certain cases, for example when playing back clips in the camcorder
when it is connected directly to the computer, you may notice some of the following anomalies.
- Playback is not smooth and frames are dropped.
- The displayed time code does not match the actual frame being displayed.
- Parts of the screen freeze or take longer to be refreshed.
If you experience such anomalies while playing back clips from a CF card, import the clips into the
computer and play back the clips from the local virtual media.
NOTES
• When the input focus* is on the clips panel, media panel or the playback position slider in the preview
panel, you can press the space key to start/stop the playback. Additionally, you can use the space
key in the same manner during full-screen playback.
* “Input focus” refers to the window or item that can receive keyboard input from the user.
