To disable the layer preview in the Stage window, click the layer preview
symbol to turn it off. Shift click to disable/enable all layers. Disabling a layer
allows you to manipulate images in the Stage window that otherwise would
have been obscured behind images on the disabled layer. Disabling a layer’s
preview has no effect on its playback on screen.
Click the magnifying glass buttons to zoom in and out by a fixed amount. Drag
the button to the right of the magnifying glass buttons to change the scale gradually.
Click the jump button, located to the right of the time ruler, to jump to the
current time position if scrolled out of view, or to jump back to the previous start
time.
Click the play button to start and stop playback. If the stage is online, this also
controls playback on screen. During playback, the Stage window shows a
coarse preview of the images and applied effects. Movies do not play in the
Stage window. Pressing the space bar is equivalent to clicking the play button.
Click the time ruler to jump to a time position. Alternatively, choose “Timeline
Settings” on the Timeline menu and type in the time to jump to.
To add a cue, drag media from your hard disk or the Media window to the
Timeline or Stage window. See Chapter 12 for more details on cues.
