Playhead: This red line, with its handle the scrubber, is
synchronized with the image currently displayed (for video) and also
with the red line shown on the waveform display (for audio). You
can position it arbitrarily by clicking and dragging the scrubber, or
by dragging within the waveform.
Scroll bar and zoom: By dragging the double lines at the end of the
scroll bar to the right and left, you change the zoom level of the
display. When the bar becomes smaller, the scroll bar can be moved
