[Watching Video](https://help.proquickdraw.com/helpcenter/cutup-generator-web-version?hsLang=en#watching-video) August 24, 2026 # Watching Video Overview ## Every playlist is film first. The video stage sits right above the grid — click a play, watch it, step to the next, switch angles — with the same hands you use on your film platform. This chapter covers the stage, the transport, angles, keyboard control, and the extras: play diagrams on Catapult and slides in the film. ### The Stage Turn the stage on with the grid header's **Show video** button (the same button becomes **Hide video**). Click any play row and it cues up. The controls appear when your mouse is over the video and tuck away when it isn't (on a touch screen they're always available, auto-hiding while a clip plays and returning on a tap). Big **Previous**/**Next** arrows float on the left and right edges of the stage. Reaching the end of a clip auto-advances — first through the play's other angles, then on to the next play. The last play of the playlist just stops. ### The Transport Bar Center stage: the big **Play/Pause** button. Around it, everything you need to work a play: - **Hold-down speed buttons** — press and hold, release to resume where you were. You get **Slow forward** and **Fast forward** on the right, and **Slow rewind**, **Fast rewind**, and **Play reverse** (full-speed backward) on the left. Slow is 0.5×, fast is 3×. - **Back 2 seconds**/**Forward 2 seconds** jump buttons. - **Previous**/**Next** — steps through the play's angles first, then on to the neighboring play. The **scrub bar** is frame-accurate — grab it and drag smoothly in either direction, forward or backward. The timer beside it shows position and length, and adds "· 0.5×" whenever slow mode is on. Smooth reverse and scrubbing lean on a modern browser. Where they're not available, a small notice reads "Reverse/scrub needs WebCodecs (Chrome/Edge, Safari 16.4+)." and the reverse hold buttons hide — everything else keeps working.
