Play AVI Application

When the film loop has been fully generated, it will launch in a new Play AVI Application (PAVIA) window. This application contains the following controls:

• Play – Starts the playback animation. During the animation, the speed and play mode can be changed.
• Speed slider bar. This increases or decreases the playback speed. The speed depends on the computer being used.
• Frame slider bar. This control can be used to jump to a specific frame of an animation.
• Stop – Stops the playback animation.
• Next Frame – Allows manually stepping to the next frame. It only works when the animation is stopped.
• Loop play mode. This play mode restarts the animation when the end of the film loop has been reached.
• Back/forth play mode. This play mode shows the film loop in reverse order when the end of the film loop has been reached.

The generated film loop will be saved in the AVI file format. AVI files can be used in software presentation packages, such as Microsoft PowerPoint or WordPerfect Presentations. A saved film loop may be opened from inside SMS or directly from inside the PAVIA application. Pavia.exe is located in the XMS installation directory and can be freely distributed.
