• 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.
