PLAYMODES
For a complete parameter map, refer to

Basic Modes

Loop (Forward & Reverse) - Looping playmodes will play the movie from In-Frame to Out-Frame (Forward) or Out-Frame
to In-Frame (Reverse) in a looping fashion. When the layer's opacity is reduced to 0, the playhead continues to mark
time, meaning that when opacity is restored, the playhead will be at a later point in time.
Once (Forward & Reverse) - Once playmodes will play the movie from In-Frame to Out-Frame (Forward) or Out-Frame
to In-Frame (Reverse) but will pause on the final frame rather than looping. When the layer's opacity is reduced to 0, the
playhead continues to mark time, meaning that when opacity is restored, the playhead will be at a later point in time.
Modifiers:
+ Pause when Opacity = 0 - When the layer's opacity is reduced to a level of 0, the playhead stops. When opacity is
restored, playback resumes with the playhead at the same point it was when opacity was set to 0.
+ Pause and Reset when Opacity = 0 - When the layer's opacity is reduced to a level of 0, the playhead stops. When
opacity is restored, playback resumes at the In-Frame/Out-Frame - depending on the direction of playback.

Bounce/Random

Bounce (Forward & Reverse) - Bounce playmodes will play the movie in the selected direction initially, but playback will
switch to the opposite direction when the last frame is reached. (This is also know as "ping-pong.")
Random - A pseudo-random frame of the movie from between the In and Out-Frames will be displayed. This mode
is pseudo-random because using the same movie and playback settings on more than one layer/server will cause the
same frame to be played at the same time on both layers/servers. This is done so as to allow for playback sync between
multiple servers in a blended arrangement.

Scrub

Scrub In - Playback is paused and the playhead is moved to the In-Frame. The In-Frame parameter can be adjusted
and the movie will scrub to the new In-Frame.
Scrub Out - Playback is paused and the playhead is moved to the Out-Frame. The Out-Frame parameter can be
adjusted and the movie will scrub to the new Out-Frame.
Note: Setting a layer's playspeed parameter to zero allows both the In and Out-Frames to be scrubbed without
modifying the playmode for the layer.

Restart on In-Frame Change

Forward Loop - Movie will play forwards from In-Frame to Out-Frame, looping at the Out-Frame. If the In-Frame value is
modified during playback, then the playhead will jump to the frame associated with the new In-Frame value.
Forward Once - Movie will play forwards from In-Frame to Out-Frame, pausing on the Out-Frame. If the In-Frame value
is modified during playback (but not after the pause), then the playhead will jump to the new frame associated with the
In-Frame value.
