 ### Working with the tool:
-- Start `SimpleVideoCutter.exe`
 - Open a video file 
 - The video playback starts automatically; press space to pause/resume (or click in the video area)
-- Select a position and click `S` to mark start of your cut 
-- Click `E` to mark end of your cut 
-- Click 'Enqueue clip task' to add task to the queue. 
+- You can navigate back and forth through video using timeline control at the botom of the screen. Use mouse wheel (with control key pressed) to zoom in and out the timeline. Mouse wheel without control key scrolls the timeline forward and backward. Press shift key for even faster scrolling/zooming. 
+- Select a position and press `[` (or click the correspnding button) to mark start of your cut  
+- Press `]` to mark end of your cut 
+- Press `E` (or click 'Enqueue' button) to add task to the queue. 
   FFmpeg will be used to extract selected portion of the video and save it in a new file. 
-- Click 'Show tasks' to see list of pending and running tasks

+- In tasks lists you can inspect pending and running tasks. Tasks are processed automatically and disappear once completed. 
+Feel free to open next file (and add next tasks) while task is still in progress - they do not interfere with each other and just queue up. 
+- Use Previos / Next buttons to quickly open next or previous file in the same directory. 
 
 ## To do
 - ~~configure options in a dialog (currently one need to modify `config.json` file manually)~~
 - ~~open dialog to select ffmpeg location~~ 
 - allow to configure ffmpeg options when (e.g. convert ot a different format / size etc.) 
-- improve timeline control (show seconds ticks etc. )
+- ~~improve timeline control (show seconds ticks etc. )~~
 - extend list of variables that can be used in file patterns 
 - jump to first/last video file in the current directory 
 - jump to next/prev directory (sibling to current directory)

 ## Known issues
 - ~~sometimes the program freezes (how to fix: [see more here](https://github.com/ZeBobo5/Vlc.DotNet/wiki/Vlc.DotNet-freezes-(don't-call-Vlc.DotNet-from-a-Vlc.DotNet-callback)))~~
 - lack of proper error handling in some border cases (IO errors etc.) 
 - location on timeline not updated correctly when video reaches the end 
   (sometimes the marker stays a bit before the actual end). 
-
+- small preview slide (on top to the hovered position) sometimes stucks and doesn't update with actual hovered frame any more. Known workaround: re-open the file.
