<h2>Positioning the Playhead</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <dfn>playhead</dfn> is a vertical line with two arrows at each end
|
|
that indicates the current position of playback.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Positioning the playhead at the current pointer position</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Pressing <kbd>P</kbd> will set the playhead to the current position of
|
|
the pointer, if it is within the editor track area.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Positioning the playhead on the timeline</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
A <kbd class="mouse">Left</kbd> click anywhere on the timeline (rulers)
|
|
will move the playhead to that position.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Positioning the playhead with the transport clocks</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click on either the primary or secondary transport clock and
|
|
<a href="@@editing-clocks">edit their value</a>
|
|
to move the playhead to a specific position.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h3>Positioning the playhead at a marker</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Click <kbd class="mouse">Right</kbd> on the marker and select either
|
|
<kbd class="menu">Locate to here</kbd> or <kbd class="menu">Play from
|
|
here</kbd>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Alternatively, place the pointer on the marker and press
|
|
<kbd>P</kbd> to set the playhead.

<h2>Looping the Transport</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
When the <dfn>loop transport</dfn> button is pressed, the playhead will
|
|
jump the start of the loop range, and continue to the end of that range
|
|
before returning to the start and repeating.
|
|
While looping, a light green area is displayed in the time ruler over
|
|
the tracks to show the loop range.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
By default, looping is bound to the <kbd>l</kbd> key.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
