- The playback speed can be adjusted in a number of ways:
- by selecting the playback speed selector box, and clicking on one of the points on the slider, you are able to speed up or slow down/rewind the playback in real time (this will then preview from the video player)
- by selecting the chevron to the right of the setting, you can choose from a list of predefined playback speeds.
- Marking inpoints and outpoints allows you to make starting and ending points for selections and sub-clips from the video.
