Scrub Through a Large Package or Asset Group

In large packages where you have more than one page to your Package’s Playlist, use the Pages arrows to find the File you want to open next.

PLAYBACK NOTE: If you are playing a video while searching for a file and the next video starts, you will be bounced back to that file in the Playlist. To avoid this, turn off Autoplay and Pause the video or audio file, before scrolling through the Playlist.

Scrub Through a Video or Audio File

Scrub through a video by dragging the cursor in the scrub bar to the location you desire.

Frame thumbnails will appear as you drag the cursor to aid in your search.

Channel Selection for Audio

CORE allows you to isolate and play different audio channels for stereo files. To select channel simply click on the desired one on top or bottom of the wavelength visualisation. Click on left channel or right channel on top and bottom of the file to turn them on or off.

To return to a full stereo file, simply re-enable both channels by setting them to On. At the moment it is not possible to comment the file in a particular point in time or only a specific channel. All comments are related to the file as a whole.

Depending on your bandwidth, your video player quality will be automatically selected. However, if you wish to change it, select to the Gear icon. Choose HD or SD.

Images, Presentations, Documents, and PDFs Controls
