You can define which controls appear on the Cine toolbar. This toolbar controls the Cine viewer, which is used to play back series either continuously or frame by frame. The cine controls modify the appearance and behavior of the series being played in the cine. However, the controls (tools) placed on the Cine toolbar are for easy access and are not related to the Cine tool; therefore, when the Cine toolbar is closed, if a tool is enabled, it remains enabled.
