Navigation Pane
The Navigation Pane on the right side of the SLOW software provides access to E9 cameras, their takes, and SLOW files that have been opened locally or from the SSD. An object can be selected by clicking on it, which will place an orange box around it, and dynamically change the user interface to provide camera controls or playback controls. The object tabs in view can be adjusted by clicking and dragging them up or down with the mouse, or by hovering over them and using the scroll wheel. Each object has a secondary menu which can be accessed by right-clicking on the object.
