Use playback, slow motion, the timeline and 2D or 3D views to explain a volleyball rally.

## Control the replay

1. Press **Play** below the court. The button becomes **Pause** while the play runs.
2. Choose **0.5×** or **0.25×** for a slower replay. **1×** restores normal speed.
3. Drag the timeline to a moment you want to discuss. **Restart** returns to the beginning.
4. Turn on **Loop** if you want the play to repeat.

Playback controls include slow motion, the timeline and Loop.

## Choose what to show

In 3D, drag the court to look around. The **Camera** menu has fixed views and views through a player. Use **2D** for an overhead court; the same button returns to **3D**.

View mode also has temporary arrows, zones and labels. They are coaching marks for this view. Switch to Edit mode to add annotations that belong to a saved play.

## When a drill stops

A drill normally plays its lead-in and one round, then stops. This is the demonstration, not the total practice time. Read the drill card for suggested reps and rest. Turn on **Loop** to repeat the shown round.
