ELAN supports the following options for navigating through a document:
accessing points in time (the section called “Accessing points in time”);
going to a selection (the section called “Going to the borders of a selection”);
jumping step by step through a document (the section called “Jumping step by step through a document”);
navigating using the Timeline Viewer (the section called “The Media Player options”)
navigating using the Grid Viewer (the section called “Viewing a list of annotations within one tier (Grid Viewer)”);
navigating using the Interlinear Viewer (the section called “Jumping from annotation to annotation (Interlinear Viewer)”).
All Viewers are synchronized in time, i.e., when you navigate to a specific point or selection in one Viewer, all other Viewers will immediately jump to the corresponding point or selection:
The Video Viewer will display the corresponding video frame
The Waveform Viewer will display a crosshair at the corresponding location in the waveform.
The Subtitle, Timeline and Interlinear Viewers will display the corresponding annotation(s).
