Working with the Keyframe Timeline

When you click a keyframe, SmartClient performs two tasks:

• It causes the Media Viewer to move to the keyframe.

• It zooms the Keyframe Timeline, keeping the focus on the clicked keyframe.

Each time you click a keyframe, SmartClient displays a set of them that are from a smaller
range of points either side of the keyframe you clicked. You may keep doing this until the
keyframe range is so small that it contains only a few keyframes, as the illustration shows:

The filled section of the Keyframe Timeline shows the length and position of the keyframe
range. You can extend the range by clicking the Zoom Out (<->) button.

To cue the Media Viewer to play from a particular keyframe:

1 Adjust the Keyframe Timeline so it shows the keyframe you want the Media Viewer to

display.

2 Click the keyframe.

Reviewing a Video Clip While its Media is Being Recorded

In certain circumstances, the Media Viewer can play the media file for a video clip as it is
being recorded by an iTX Encode Server: it can do so when a Live Smooth Streaming file is
created in the recording.
