 Sets the play speed in percentage. 100% plays back at normal speed. Higher percentage values play back faster (for example 200% plays at 2x speed) and lower percentage values play back slower (for example 50% plays at 1/2x speed).
+====== Auto Stop Recording ======
+If checked recording is automatically stopped if the current record time reaches the playtime of the previous recording. This allows to easily record multiple animations for the same captured actor without recording past the playtime of the first recording you have done. If unchecked recording prolongs beyond the existing play time. Existing recordings are not modified but the last recorded frame will be held until the new recording playtime.
+====== Capturable ======
+Select CapturedCharacter to use to capture actor motion capture. If no CapturedCharacter is selected free motion capture is done. Free motion capture is stored in a global directory (see [[democap:tutorialcapturing#stop_capturing|Tutorial Capturing]]). Captures using CapturedCharacter are written into project directory if "Auto Stop Recording" is enabled.
+The captured character is marked in the 3D view using a blue actor icon.
+====== Stage Directions ======
+Stage directions allow motion capture operators to set up stage directions for motion capture actors before the motion capture session begins. Stage directions can be any kind of text information useful for the actor to quickly recall what he has to perform without the motion capture operator having to tell the actor and without the actor needing to take off his gear. This is also useful for single-person motion capture to note down all the information required to do an entire motion capture session in one go without needing to take off the gear.
+Typically the motion capture actor sets his left or right arm VR wrist menu to show the session panel. This way he can quickly check on the stage directions in between captures.
+To make captures more efficient the [[democap:uipanelsettings#auto_export|Auto Export]] setting can be enabled in the [[democap:uipanelsettings|Settings Panel]]. If enabled and a stage direction is selected each capture down on a Captured Characters is automatically exported into a sub directory with the same name as the stage direction. If the capture exists already it is overwritten. This avoids the need to manually export captures which is especially a time saver for single-person use.
+Auto exporting exports animations into directories of this pattern: <wrap hi>{projectDirectory}/export/{scene}/{stage direction}/{object}/{animation}.*</wrap>.
+The “…” button shows a drop down menu with these commands:
+===== Add =====
+Add stage direction.
+===== Remove =====

+===== Remove All =====
