Exception: See [Play All], [Pause All], and [Stop 
All], to follow/below. 
Speed 'slider': This allows setting the 
playback speed (drag the slider and watch for 
your desired speed--from 0.1x up to 10x). 
Top-Right Buttons: These allow grabbing a 
video frame (details in a following section / 
below).

position within a video. You can drag the slider 
to quickly skim through a video.

allow replaying or resuming a video, pausing, 
stopping, and jumping to the next or previous 
file. These buttons appear yellow when 
available.

files that you selected in the file list. If 
"Continuous Playback" is not selected, the 
software will wait for you to click "Play" to 
start subsequent files. 
If "Continuous Playback" is also selected, 
all newer recordings in the folder will be 
played (in the order they were recorded), 
starting with your (oldest) selected file.

playing/resuming, pausing, or stopping the

time.

video, and use the controls on the right (previous).
