#!CSeaGreen #!N  #!Rsequen2 Using the Sequencer #!N #!EC #!N #!N 
The Sequencer allows you to "animate" a visual image and is 
very easy to use. The process is rather like running a 
video cassette tape: You can play it forward or backward, stop 
it, pause, and so on. (If you look at the canvas 
of the VPE window, you will see that the Sequencer is 
one of the components of the example1.net network.) #!N #!I0 #!N 
 #!F-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--18*   #!N #!N #!I30 #!N 1. Click on  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Execute #!EF 
in the menu bar of the Image window and then on 
 #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Sequencer #!EF in the pull-down menu to display the Sequence 
Control panel (  #!Lvcrcont7,dxall20 f Figure 7  #!EL  ). #!N #!I30 #!N 2. Click on 
the Forward button (>) to start the animation sequence. Note: A 
Sequencer button appears recessed when it is activated. #!N #!N As 
the sequence proceeds, the Counter button (  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   ... #!EF ) 
displays the corresponding "frame" number. At the end of the execution 
cycle, the window displays the final image in the sequence, the 
Counter displays the final frame number, and the Forward button is 
deactivated (not recessed). #!N #!I30 #!N 3. Click on the Back 
button (<) to run the same sequence in reverse. At the 
end of the execution cycle, the window displays the original image, 
the Counter displays "0," and the Back button is deactivated. #!N 
#!I30 #!N 4. Click on the Step button (<  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   || 
#!EF >) to activate it. You can now proceed through a 
sequence frame by frame in either direction, using Back and Forward. 
Note: In Step mode, the Back and Forward buttons appear as 
<  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   || #!EF and  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   || #!EF > respectively. #!N 
#!I30 #!N 5. Click on Step again (to deactivate it) and 
then on the Loop button at the top left (marked by 
a single "looped" arrow). Now, if you click on Back or 
Forward, the sequence will repeat itself until you interrupt it (see 
the next four steps). #!N #!I30 #!N 6. Click on the 
Pause button (  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   || #!EF ) to suspend the sequence. 
#!N #!I30 #!N 7. Continue the sequence from this point or 
reverse it, using Back or Forward. #!N #!I30 #!N 8. Click 
on the Stop button (&sqbul.). The sequence halts (the Loop button 
remains activated). Note: The Stop button does not affect the status 
of the Loop, Palindrome, or Step button. #!N #!I30 #!N 9. 
Click on Back or Forward. A new sequence starts again from 
the beginning (i.e., a "stopped" sequence cannot be continued or reversed 
from the point at which you interrupted it). #!N #!I30 #!N 
10. Click on Loop. The sequence continues to its end before 
stopping and the Loop button is deactivated (compare with the Stop 
button). #!N #!I30 #!N 11. Click on the Palindrome button (between 
Loop and Step). With this option activated, you can use the 
Back (or Forward) button to run a sequence through one back-and-forth 
cycle (from first frame to last and back to first, or 
vice versa). Note that if you activate this function at some 
intermediate frame in the sequence, only the  #!F-adobe-times-medium-i-normal--18*   remainder #!EF of 
the cycle is executed. #!N #!I30 #!N 12. To restore the 
original view of the object, click on  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   Reset #!EF in 
the  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   View Control #!EF dialog box. #!N #!I30 #!N 13. 
Close the Sequence Control panel (double click on the window menu 
button in top left corner of the frame). #!N #!I0 #!N 
#!EF #!N #!CIndianRed #!N #!N #!N  #!F-adobe-times-bold-r-normal--18*   For Future Reference #!N 
#!N You can activate both the Loop and Palindrome buttons together. 
The back-and-forth cycle will repeat itself until you deactivate one them 
or click on the Stop button. #!N #!N #!EC #!N #!N
