Play Back and Export Container Recorders

Play back a recorder container

After you have recorded images in a container, you can:

● directly play it back from the Recorder pane using the Playback button.

This automatically closes the container before reopening it in read mode.

● close it and open it later on from the Welcome screen.

See also Close the recorder container or Open a recorder container.

In both cases, the recorder container opens in the Recorder Container window.

Besides the standard playback with the Play button, the following playback options are available in the Browse container area:
