The windows can be resized vertically to show more or less of the Timeline & editing section, by clicking on the top edge of the Controller bar, and dragging up or down.

Enable Main Window Always on Top from the Window menu to ensure the Main window is always in view, while all other windows (including those from other applications)- are always behind.

Mini Player

Click on the Toggle Mini Player Mode icon in the Controller section to minimise the Main Window into a smaller resizable video player with a floating control panel containing very basic Timecode display, Sync, & Transport controls.

The Mini Player window can be used as a floating video window - or set to cover the entire screen by using the green maximise window button top left. The current position & size of the Mini Player window will always be stored & recalled.

The Mini Player window is entirely separate from Fullscreen mode. With Mini player maximised & Fullscreen set to another screen - this allows for two simultaneous fullscreen internal video displays.
