There are five groups of command buttons. The two groups found above and below
the video window allow you to open and navigate videos. They are described in
chapter 2, Video Playback. You’ll also find the Exit button located here (use this when
you’re done with the V1), as well as the Academy button (see chapter 9, The Internet
Academies) and Student button (see chapter 8, Working with Students).
The Video button group is home to the Record , Compare , Trim ,
Delete , Move and Info buttons. Recording is covered in chapter
3, Video Recording. Video comparison is covered in chapter 2,
Video Playback. The remaining buttons are covered in chapter 4,
Working with Videos.
The Drawing Tools button group contains the tools which allow
you to graphically analyze video. Here you’ll find the essentials
such as freehand, lines, angles, circles, boxes, and text. You’ll also
find the Clear and Undo buttons here. The Snapshot button
allows you to save your graphics with the video. See chapter 5,
Digital Illustration, for complete details.
Buttons found in the Digital Effects group activate many of the
V1’s signature features. Here you’ll find tools for illustrating a
wedge or plane, illustrating curves and arcs, and showing the
tempo. The Flip , Slide , Enhance , and Zoom tools allow you to
digitally manipulate the video image. The Overlay feature is an
advanced comparison tool. This is also where you’ll find the Print
command button. Full descriptions of these features are split
between chapter 6, Digital Effects, and chapter 7, Advanced Digital
Effects
Button States
Active buttons are drawn in a highlighted or contrasting background color. To activate
a function or button, click it.
Some functions act in “groups.” For example, only one of Pause , Play , and Slow may
be active. When you click one of these, the others in the group automatically
deactivate. For more on the function of the “Digital VCR” tools, see the Video
Playback chapter.
Other buttons act as switches. When you click one of these, the function is activated.
When you click again, the function is deactivated. For example, Flip and Tempo work
this way.
