Play button in the preview windows....Why?

Reason is mainly that for at least a few versions, we added the ability to play the preview by clicking on it. But there was no indication to the user that this was possible, so most people wouldn't even try it. We added the overlay to make it more obvious. Too heavy handed?

Hi

Well, not heavy handed exactly, just superfluous perhaps.  I found it a bit distracting as it flickers in and out if  the mouse strays across that area for any reason when there is no intention of playing the clip/sequence. e.g moving up to the top toolbar . Of course it's more visible in the enlarged undocked preview window. To be fair I can see some use if the routine Play buttons are obscured by another window like the effects pane but otherwise it's an extra that might become irritating.  One can click the button just as easily as the screen. What do other users think?

Never noticed this so obviously never thought it might be useful.  :)
