Video Preview feature in XTM Workbench

Video preview in XTM Workbench is displayed in the form of a video player with all basic buttons and shortcuts functionality like play, stop, pause, etc. and acts as any other XTM Workbench tab – it can be scaled, moved, swapped with other stabs and opened in a secondary window. Using video progress bar allows you to jump to different parts of the video and automatically focuses on the corresponding translation segment. Additional modifiers, such as inline tags or LTR languages are displayed correctly in video preview.

Any changes made to segments will be displayed on the video preview all the same.
