Playing Takes & Bins

Click any shot thumbnail to play that single take, or hit Play on a bin to run its auto-selected takes back to back as a playlist. Both open the same full-screen viewer, which has a sidebar you can use to jump between clips. Close it with Esc or by clicking the dark backdrop.

Play a Single Take

In a bin’s shot strip, every captured tile is clickable. Click one and the viewer opens on that take alone. The tile shows the take label (like “1A-3”) and its duration, so you always know which clip you’re about to watch. Placeholder tiles for shots you haven’t filmed aren’t playable — there’s no video behind them.

Play a Whole Bin

Each bin with footage has a Play button in its action row. Pressing it builds a playlist from the bin’s auto-selected takes — one take per shot, in shot order — and starts playing from the first. When a clip finishes, the next one starts automatically, so a single click walks you through the scene’s rough cut end to end.

A bin only offers Play once it has at least one selected take; an empty bin has nothing to run.

The Viewer

Playing anything opens a full-screen viewer with the video on the left and a list on the right. An info bar under the video names the current clip — its shot label and take number — and, when you’re playing a playlist, shows your position in it (for example, “2 / 5”).

Playlist mode

When you played a whole bin, the sidebar is titled Playlist and lists the selected takes in order, numbered. The clip that’s playing is highlighted; click any entry to jump straight to it.

Takes mode

When you played a single take, the sidebar is titled Takes and lists every take that has video, so you can browse the full coverage without leaving the viewer.

Each sidebar entry shows a circle icon that’s filled for circled takes and hollow otherwise, alongside the take’s label — a quick way to tell your keepers from the rest.

Closing the Viewer

Press Esc or click the darkened backdrop around the player to close the viewer and return to your bins. A playlist also stops on its own once the last clip finishes.
