For a video file, the storyboard offers two views, the Page view and the Zoom view:
Page view: The storyboards are ordered in pages and then the pages are stacked. The user flips through the pages to see the entire storyboard. Figure 10.1 shows the concept of Page view.
Zoom view: The storyboards are stacked in order and then presented on a single page. Each displayed frame represents a range of storyboards. You can see the total sequence at a high level and quickly zoom in (like a table of contents of a DVD). Figure 10.2 shows the concept of Zoom view.

For applicable video files, the Properties dialog is replaced by the Video Details screen. Any action to view a video’s properties automatically opens the video details for the video. For more information on video details, see Video Details.
