Playing around a selection

When playing a selection it is possible to extend the playback interval with a context up to a few seconds before and after the selection. This can e.g. be useful to get an idea about the preparation and the finishing of a gesture.

  1. Click on Options menu.

  2. Go to Play around selection. The following dialog appears:

    Figure 126. Play around selection


  3. Choose how many (milli)seconds or frames there should be played before and after the selection. Click on the OK button.

  4. Now make a selection and press CTRL-SHIFT-SPACE. This keyboard shortcut is the only way to play around a selection.
