Playback guide
Deinterlaced playback at double frame rate makes for a smoother movie without interlace artifacts.
Press cmd-O to open a movie. It will start playing right away.
Playback may be a little unstable. Don't use fullscreen if you have unsaved docs or important network activity going on.
In the preferences you can select the screen to be used for playback (if you have more than one) and the initial speed.
No frames are dropped on a fast computer.
See Playback menu for more keyboard commands.
Movie speed: cmd+ or cmd= increases speed; cmd- decreases speed
Slow motion: use speed 0.6 for PAL movies, speed 0.5 for NTSC.
Gamma: cmd-G increases gamma (making the movie darker).
No reverse playback.
No goto.
Sometimes jerky start after opening a movie, one second delay when restarting after stepping.
You can also have all movies start in full screen mode and autoclose at the end.
