Choose a Target and Edit an Attribute
This video demonstrates how to choose a target application, select an editable UI element in one of the target's windows, select an editable attribute of the UI element, and edit it. Along the way, it shows you how to view the selected UI element's path in the target's UI element hierarchy, and how to activate the target. The target is TextEdit, and the content of a window's text is edited.
Note: This video requires a browser that supports HTML5 video elements, such as Apple's Safari. It is a QuickTime H.264 movie.
Choose a Target and Perform an Action
This video demonstrates how to choose a target application, select a UI element that can respond to actions, select an action, and perform it. The target is the Finder, and the AXPress action of its File > New Finder Window menu item is performed. The Finder was activated before performing the action, and the Command key was held down while the Perform button was clicked in order to avoid bringing UI Browser back to the front.

Switch to the Screen Reader
This video demonstrates how to switch to UI Browser's Screen Reader. The Screen Reader is used to locate the Sharing preference pane in System Preferences and then return to UI Browser's main browser view with the preference pane selected. Along the way, it shows you how to use the Screen Reader's Auto Motive mode to chase the Screen Reader out of your way. The Command key was held down at several points to freeze the Screen Reader on a desired point while you use it.
