+When enabled there is a green or gold colored shadow around the usual red or green colored arrow.
The purpose of enabling this capability is to make it really easy to play the media in the window by just using the left mouse button to start or stop the play.
The entire main canvas surface becomes a big play button!
Although the default is initially off, a good reason to enable this, at least temporarily, is so that you can quickly review your video before a render.
Preview mode can be used to pop up a window which draws the vicons/aicons thumbnails in a larger size.

Copy or paste a list of files in the Media Resources window:
\item right click on an unused portion of that window to bring up the popup menu
\item select the \textit{Copy file list} item and a file list box will appear that contains the full path filenames
\item wipe the textbox using your standard copy/paste method to put the list of files in the copy buffer
- \item in another Cinelerra instance, choose the \textit{Paste file list} of the media Resources window
+ \item in another \CGG{} instance, choose the \textit{Paste file list} of the media Resources window
\item paste the list of files, again using your standard paste method, into the new file list box; press OK
\item the status bar of the main window will be updated as the file list is loaded to the media folder (the purpose of displaying the status is simply to show that the load is progressing normally).
\end{enumerate}
-Obviously this \textit{Paste file list} feature means you can create a list of files outside of Cinelerra using an editor, wipe the names, and then use \textit{Paste file list} to load them into the media Resources window.

Another possible usage of this capability:
Thus, by playing back you change the position of the insertion point.
The keyboard interface of either the numeric pad or alternative keys has more speeds with the addition of \emph{Forward Slow}(2) and \emph{Reverse Slow} (5).
Hitting any key on the keyboard twice pauses it.

When using frame advance functions the behavior may seem odd.
If you frame advance forward and then frame advance backward, the displayed frame does not change.
In zoom mode, clicking in the video output zooms in while a Ctrl-click in the video output zooms out.
If you have a wheel mouse, rotating the wheel zooms in or out too.
Zooming in or out with the zoom tool does not change the rendered output.
-It is merely for scrutinizing video or fitting it in the desktop. Playing video on the compositor when zoomed to any size other that 100\%, the original size, requires Cinelerra to do extra processing steps.

\subsection{Show Overlays}%
Look at the color codings in a meter with numerical markings to see what colors correspond to what sound level.
Then for meters in the patchbay in expanded audio tracks, use the color codings to see if it is overloading.
-Be aware that sound levels in Cinelerra can go above 0 dB.
+Be aware that sound levels in \CGG{} can go above 0 dB.
This allows for not only seeing if a track is overloading but how much information is being lost by the overloading.
Overloading by less than 3 dB is usually acceptable.
-While overloading is treated as positive numbers in Cinelerra, it is clipped to 0 when sent to a sound card or file.
