Browsing the footage

Once you have loaded a sequence, you can play it by clicking on the Play Sequence Toolbar at the bottom of the Workspace.

The Play Sequence Toolbar from left to right is described below.

First Frame - Navigates to the first frame of the sequence.
Previous Frame - Changes the current time to point to the preceding frame.
Play Reverse - Runs the play segment backwards.
Play/Stop - Runs the play segment forwards in the current view. The play segment is either the frames contained within the selection, if any, then in the Work Area, if any, or all the frames of a sequence. Other views or controls are refreshed only if the hardware performance allows it.
Next Frame - Changes the current time to point to the next frame of the sequence.
Last Frame - Navigates to the last frame of the sequence.

You can also play the sequence forward or in reverse by selecting Sequence > Play or Play Reverse or skip untracked or unsolved frames. See Skipping untracked frames and Skipping unsolved tracks.

Selecting a Play Mode

You can determine how a sequence is played by selecting Sequence > Play Mode and selecting one of the following options:

Normal - Plays the sequence from the current frame and automatically stops the playback when the play segment limit is reached.
Loop - Continuously loops the entire sequence or a segment of the sequence (if a Work Area is defined).
PingPong - Continuously loops the entire sequence or a segment (if a Work Area or a time range is defined) forward and backward.

Alternatively, you can press the corresponding options in the Navigation Toolbar.
