 **Black has a member of its own**, ''media.root_0000'' (''0000_BLACK.jpg''), which ''mediaList'' leaves out. Its ''onLayerN'' reads true while that layer is stopped, writing true stops the layer, and writing false plays the layer's selection again, so a panel can put a layer to black from the same list it picks media from.

 ''startSync(path)'' on a layer, or ''playlistStartSync(path)'', makes a Blocks TimeFlow property the master. The driver then follows position and, with ''syncRate'', rate. A drift beyond ''syncDrift'' is corrected; a change beyond ''syncJump'' counts as a seek. A dead master, a stopped Blocks timeline, is treated per ''syncStopAction''.
-Hive has a usable rate control, PLAY SPEED, 0…1, where 0.5 is normal, so the driver can follow a master's rate rather than chase its position.
