Bug Description
The usual convention for collapsible menus with arrow icons is for the arrow icon to point to the right when the section is hidden and to point down when the section is visible. For example, the layers, adjustments, and HEK Events sections all follow this convention.
Because it might be confusing to have to similar looking buttons near each other ("play" and "open menu"), it might be good to either move the movie options to a separate section similar to the image adjustments section, or use some other UI component.

Hi Keith,
In principle, I agree. However, a rather flat downward-pointing arrow is also used for pull-down menus (see e.g. "Settings" on google.com). So I'd rather tweak the current icon a little than adding another section. One key constraint is that I would like to be able to have mini-view, movie controls, layers & adjustments open at the same time, which requires almost 1000 vertical pixels in the default configuration.
Cheers,
Daniel
