Using the Cast window

In the Cast window, you can view the cast in either the default List view or the Thumbnail view. (You can change the default so that the Cast window opens in Thumbnail view. See Setting Cast window preferences.)

The Cast window lets you do the following:

| Organize and display all media in a movie.
| Move groups of cast members.
| Launch editors for cast members.
| Launch the Property Inspector to view, add, and change comments about your cast members, and to view and modify cast member properties.

To view the Cast window:

Choose Window > Cast or press Control+3 (Windows) or Command+3 (Macintosh). If there is more than one cast in the movie, you can choose which Cast window to open by choosing Window > Cast and then selecting a cast name from the Cast submenu.

Switching from one Cast window view to another

You can easily toggle between List and Thumbnail views of the Cast window.

To switch from one Cast window view to another, do one of the following:

| Click the Cast View Style icon on the Cast window to toggle between the two views.
| With the Cast window active, choose View > Cast and select either List or Thumbnail, as desired.
| Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the Cast window and select either List or Thumbnail, as desired, from the context menu.
