The different parts of the main BB TestAssistant Player window:

 

Menus

The functions on each menu are fully described in separate sections of this help file. For more details see topics in Player Main Menu in this help file.

 

Toolbars

Toolbars provide quick access to some of the most commonly used functions.

For a complete description of their functions, see The File toolbar   The Player toolbar  The Edit toolbar and The Clipping toolbar.

 

Timeline

The Timeline shows the position in the movie of the currently selected or playing frame. The Timeline is marked in either seconds or frames. For more details see The Timeline and Frame bar.

 

Frame bar

The Frame bar shows each frame of the movie as a selectable rectangle. The selected frame is drawn in red. Selecting a frame causes it to display in the Movie area. For more help on selecting and working with frames see: Working with frames.

 

Movie area

The Movie area fills most of the Player window, and this is where the movie appears as it is played.

 

Status bar

This is divided into four sections.

The right-hand section shows the total length of the movie. The second-from-right section shows the value of any keys pressed during the recording of the selected frame.

The other two sections display messages to inform a user of the status of BB TestAssistant when it is engaged in operations that may occupy a noticeable length of time.
