Note: If a still image (such as a TIFF file) doesn't match the project aspect ratio, Adobe Encore DVD crops or mattes it
to fit the project's frame size. Using the Still Clip Properties panel, you can control how the image is placed in a timeline,
such as whether it is scaled and cropped or matted with black. (See "To scale and crop still images" on page 143.)

To show or hide the preview thumbnail, click the triangle in the upper left corner of the Project panel.

you began dragging, stop dragging for playback to resume.
