7.0 PLEO Preview Window

The PLEO window is intended for reviewing performance skits on your PC before uploading them to PLEO, or writing them to a flash card.

It can also be used for editing PLEO's posture directly if you like.

The PLEO Window is similar to the small motion editor preview.  However it is larger, and has controls for navigating the performance  -- similar to the Windows Media player.   Motion & sound are synchronized together.

The "PLEO Window" can be enlarged full-screen size, although a 3D accelerated video card might be required for good performance.

Toggle the PLEO Window on/off from "View Menu -> PLEO Window".
