Menus and windows
Every label here is written exactly as ShotWork shows it. Where a label
names something, such as a template or a count of shots, the table shows an
example.

Overlay template editor
Every right-click menu ends with a help entry naming what you clicked:
Timeline Help on the source timeline, Shot Help on a shot, Clip
Help on a clip in a reel. It opens the page that explains that thing, and
for a panel it opens that section's tour picture with the panel's own
region picked out.
Two more ways to the same place:
- F1 answers about whatever is under the pointer, then the focused
control, and opens this site's front page when nothing else fits.
- A dialog has a ? button beside its own buttons instead of a
right-click menu.
Windows and dialogs
Every window holds the rest of ShotWork until you close it, except the
Library window and the overlay template editor, which stay open beside your
work.
