You can play back videos in CueCam on your Mac or from your iPad using Video Pencil.

Loading a video directly inside CueCam

There are many ways to load a video in CueCam on your Mac.

• Drag a file in to the Live Camera preview
• Right-click the Live Camera preview and select “Share Video...”
• Click the arrow on the Dashboard’s “Share” button and select “Share Video...”
• Drag a video onto a card in your script and present that card

If you load a video from a card it will play automatically.

If you select a video live then it will be paused to give you a chance to unmute and adjust the volume before playing.

You’ll then need to press the play button, visible in any of CueCam’s windows and in the Dashboard system menu.

Loading a video on your iPad

You can load a video into Video Pencil directly on your iPad using the Media button and tapping either “Pick from Photos...” or “Pick from Files...”.

When you select a video on your iPad, playback will begin automatically.

Any videos you have recently loaded can be accessed directly from the same menu.

Note that any video playing from Video Pencil will appear on top of anything being presented by CueCam Presenter (as it uses the drawing layer which covers everything).

Scrubbing through videos

There are two ways to scrub through a video.

The fast (but less accurate for longer videos) way is to use the timeline slider next to the play button.

If you need fine control (e.g. when telestrating a sports play) you can use Video Pencil’s Shuttle Wheel.

Using the Shuttle Wheel

Place your finger on any part of the wheel and rotate clockwise or counter-clockwise to scrub through the currently playing video.

The Shuttle Wheel works whether the video is playing inside Video Pencil or from CueCam on your Mac! (BETA Version)

There are three buttons to the left of the wheel: the “Auto Clear” toggle and undo/redo buttons.

Auto Clear

If Auto Clear is enabled, whenever you scrub the video your drawing will be cleared.

This makes it very easy to telestrate on dynamic action.

If you press Undo after your drawing was auto-cleared, your latest drawing will be restored.

You can tap the button to switch this feature off and on.
