Frame Counter, Playhead and Capture Frame

The playhead is a rectangle in the middle of the frame-by-frame editor that indicates the current position in your movie. In the timeline the playhead is a vertical line. Drag your finger back and forth to move the playhead position in your movie. If you add an image or an audio clip it will be inserted at the playhead position.

The frame counter displays the frame number of the playhead position as well as the total number of frames in your movie. If you move the playhead the frame number will reflect the new position.

The capture frame is a special frame within your timeline. It has a camera icon on it. The capture frame is a placeholder for the next image you capture. If you move the playhead to the capture frame position you can see a live view from your camera (tablet only). The frame counter will tell you the frame you are about to capture.

Tip: You can move the capture frame to any position within your movie. For example, you would like to add more frames in the middle of your movie. Just open the frame edit menu and select Capture to insert the capture frame at the new position. All images you capture from now on will be added there.
