The basic Tangent Element workflow is mode based. The panel automatically sets itself to the appropriate mode, based on where you are in the application. Alternatively, you can manually set the panel to the mode of your choice and the applications user interface follows. For example, accessing the Colour Corrector from the user interface automatically sets the panel to the appropriate Colour Corrector mode (Master, Shadows, Midtone, Highlights). And setting the CC Master mode on the panel, opens the Colour Corrector in Master mode in the user interface.
The following modes are supported by the Tangent Element Control Surface in Flame Premium:
This mode focuses on the Media panel and enables you to scrub the selected clip, as well as perform insert, overwrite and replace edits in the timeline, from the Media panel.
This mode focuses on the Viewing panel in Thumbnails view and enables you to scrub the selected clip, as well as perform insert, overwrite and replace edits in the timeline.
This mode focuses on the Viewing panel in Reels view and enables you to scrub the selected clip, as well as perform insert, overwrite and replace edits in the timeline.

In addition to the ability to perform insert, overwrite and replace edits, you can also apply dissolves, wipes and axis as well as add Timeline FX. All of the Timeline FX are supported.
When you bring up a player, either using the Tangent panel or from the user interface, the panel enters one of the player modes, based on the selected player. There are four player modes:
