Speed Palette
The Speed Palette is shown below.

 











   • The top slider changes the speed of the active movie
      · setting +1.0 = standard speed,
      · positive settings are forward,
      · negative settings are reverse,
      · setting 0.0 = movie paused,
      · range = –5.0 to +5.0 times standard speed.

Tip:  Press command when clicking on the controller to set the active movie’s speed back to 1.0 (normal speed).

Tip:  Press option when clicking on the controller to set the active movie’s speed in intervals of 0.5, rather than intervals of 0.1 (under Mac OS 8 or later).

Tip:  If the active movie is currently stopped by setting the speed in the Speed Palette to zero, then changing the movie’s speed will cause the movie to start playing.

   • The wheel control is a jog control
      · drag the small light-grey circle to move from one frame to another,
      · it is useful for fine control over which frame you are interested in,
      · clockwise rotation increments the current frame,
      · anticlockwise rotation decrements the current frame.

Tip:  When you press the jog control, a number to the right of the control appears.  This indicates how many frames you have moved from your starting position.

   • The bottom slider is a shuttle control
      · drag the small grey bar to play the movie at various speeds,
      · it is useful for coarse control over the movie area you are interested in,
      ·  dragging to the right increases the speed forwards,
      ·  dragging to the left increases the speed backwards.

Tip:  When you press the shuttle control, a number to the right of the control appears.  This indicates the current speed (as a multiple of standard speed) that the movie is being played.
