Video Menu
Playback
These options enable you to Play, Pause, Stop, Move Forward, Move Backwards or Jump Back to sections, more information about this is available above.
Playback Speed
You can change the playback speed from x0.25 up to x4 regular speed by using the dropdown option.
Note: If you intend on playing back a large number of videos at high speed, you will need a powerful computer to process this.
Position
You can use the Position slider to move the video forwards or backwards throughout the lap.
By moving the cursor in the graph window, the video will move to the synchronised position.
HD Overlay
This option will display a speed overlay at the bottom right of the HD video. This can be particularly useful if the scene in the video doesn't already have a speed element. The units on the overlay depend on what you have selected in the Speed units settings.

Hardware Acceleration
If you find the playback performance insufficient, you can try and apply different hardware acceleration settings to improve the performance. The available options will change depending on your computer specifications.
Ideal Lap Video
Clicking on the Ideal Lap button in the toolbar will generate a video from the fastest sectors in the session, and will be displayed when ready. If the Ideal Lap video has been previously generated for the session, it will be displayed straight away.
