The Relational Image Clip Viewer
The image clip explorer/viewer is a two-paned view that allows you to quickly view any of the image clips in your scene. The explorer in the left pane has its scope set to Images. When you select a clip from the left pane, it is displayed in the right pane.
The relational image clip explorer/viewer is not available by default, but is added to the View > SDK Samples menu when you install and run the SDK workgroup examples, as described in the SDK Guide.
To view image clips
1. Choose Views > SDK Samples > RV-Image Clip Viewer from the main menu.
