Video Controls

Video controls appear on recordings and video observations. Use them to play, pause, jump through analysis frames, open the snapshot dialog, and review observations or detection events at the current play position.

Control buttons

Control	Action
Go to start of fragment	Jumps back to the start of the current video fragment.
Play/Pause	Starts or pauses playback.
Time display	Shows the current play position and total video duration.
Take snapshot	Opens the snapshot dialog for the current frame.
Playback speed	Toggles playback between 1x and 2x.
Fullscreen	Opens the video in fullscreen mode.

When a snapshot is opened from the controls, playback pauses first so the captured image or clip starts from the frame you selected.

Position and info bars

Recording views also show an info bar below the controls:

• The position bar shows where you are in the recording and can be used to seek.
• The observations bar marks where model observations exist in the recording.
• The detection events bar marks where stored detection events occur.
• The active text area can show the categories or detection events that are active at the current play position.

The exact bars shown depend on the current view and display settings.

Keyboard shortcuts

These shortcuts work when the video area has focus and the snapshot dialog is not open.

Shortcut	Action
Space	Play or pause the video.
Left Arrow / Right Arrow	Jump one analysis frame backward or forward.
Alt+F12	Open the snapshot dialog for the current frame.
Shift+Ctrl+C	Copy all annotations at the current frame. Only works while paused.
Shift+Ctrl+V	Paste copied annotations to the current frame. Only works while paused.

Arrow key navigation uses the analysis frame interval, typically about 150 ms. This keeps frame-by-frame review aligned with the frames Vidsy analyzes.

Copy and paste are intended for video labeling. The copied frame data stays scoped to the current video observation.
