Can I automatically enforce maximum movement?

    I'm messing around with the software, with a GM Client and a Player Client.
    I am going through a mock combat...
    The system is Pathfinder.

    On the player instance, I can make an attack and then move further than the maximum movement rate of the character.
    On the GM client, if I were to catch that the movement was too great, it seems I can click the X (close) on the movement box to undo the movement.
    However, if a character with 30 ft. of available movement were to chose to move 60 ft., the system seems to allow it, unless I catch it on the GM client.

    Is there a way to limit movement to valid remaining distance?
    5 ft., if a full-attack action was taken.
    A normal movement if a standard action was taken?

    There are lot's of indicators, the log updates with the tokens movement, as well as the move indicator in the top middle of the display, that changes color as the user moves (green 1x, Orange 2x, red 3x etc.).

    The player can reset their move by hitting 'escape', if they mis move, move to far or the GM needs them to start again.

    This all is still left mainly in the GMs hand to oversee, just as you would at a live table, mainly that restriction is harder to allow accounting for things that would allow exception to those restrictions, where as not restricting this allows for the GM to easily account for anything he or the players need to happen for what ever that reason might be.

    That makes sense.
    I'm still rather new to the software, so am learning as I go.

    Do you know of any videos showing d20Pro in actual play?
    I've found tutorials for how to use features, but am not having much luck on actual gameplay videos.
