5.3.4.7 Step Forward
This button advances time to the next video frame. The RIGHT-ARROW key is
equivalent to this button.
5.3.4.8 Rewind
This button sets the current time to the time of the first video frame.
5.3.4.9 Reverse
This button reverses the flow of time at the current time rate. If already in reverse,
it goes forward.
5.3.4.10 Lock to Video Frames
This button advances time by increments of whole frames only. CinePlex Editor
does not change the current time at all until enough time has elapsed to make a
new video frame the current frame. Then it sets the current time to be the exact
time of the frame marker corresponding to that frame. This is the default mode.
Note:
A potentially confusing effect occurs when CinePlex Editor is in Frame Locking
mode. If the video capture was paused during acquisition so that there is a
gap of time that contains no frame marker occurrences, animation appears to
freeze at the point where the gap starts until enough time passes such that the
next video frame is current, which can be much later. Conversely, when Cine-
Plex Editor is not in Frame Locking mode, the animation continues smoothly
through the gap and time advances without regard to video frame boundaries.
The video frame remains unchanged until the next one is encountered.
