PLAY

---

General

This is the screening room of Comixware. The two main components here are the Play Screen and the Timeline Strip. In combining of these two interfaces, Comixware's Play function is unique in such a way that enables user not only to watch a movie passively but also to interact with it proactively. Because all scroll and search functions of Timeline are always present and available to user during playback. You can scroll, jump, or search the Timeline any way you want just like when it's stationary. And you can not only pause the playback AT the current Playhead position but also TO a chosen scene any place in the Timeline, anytime.

 

Play Screen

The purpose and function of Play Screen is self-evident. It is used for playing, reviewing or searching the movie currently in the Timeline. Whether the movie is locally created (from the Compose or Save section) or remotely downloaded (from the Gallery), this is the screen where all the pictures and sound come to live.

Timeline Strip

While the Playback Screen is where all actions are, the Timeline Strip is where all those actions are staged from. In this part of the Manual we concentrate on the controls and functions of Timeline that are primarily Play related. For an overview of Timeline interface please read the Timeline section in the Compose chapter.
