128 Chapter 7 Timeline Playback, Navigation, and Editing

To customize the playback duration:

1 Move the playhead to the desired In point, then press I.

2 Move the playhead to the desired Out point, then press O.

Loop Playback

If Loop Playback is enabled, the playhead jumps back to the In point whenever it

reaches the out point during playback.

To enable loop playback:

1 Click the setup room tab, then click the User Prefs tab.

2 Click the Loop Playback button to turn it on.

Maintain Framerate

The Maintain Framerate setting in the User Prefs tab of the Setup room determines

whether or not frames are dropped in order to maintain the project’s frame rate during

playback.

Â If Maintain Framerate is turned on (the default), the current framerate is maintained

no matter what the current processing workload is. If the currently playing grade is

processor intensive, then frames will be dropped during playback to maintain the

project’s frame rate. If not, playback occurs in real-time.

Â If Maintain Framerate is turned off, then every frame is always played back. If the

currently playing grade is processor intensive, playback will slow in order to avoid

dropping frames. If not, playback may actually occur at faster then real time.

Timeline Navigation

The following controls let you navigate around your program in the Timeline, scrolling

through it, zooming in and out, and moving the playhead from shot to shot.

To zoom into and out of the Timeline:

1 Move the playhead to a position in the Timeline upon which to center the zooming

operation.

2 With the pointer positioned within the Timeline, do one of the following:

Â Choose Timeline > Zoom In, or press Command-– (minus) to zoom in.

Â Choose Timeline > Zoom Out, or press Command-= (equals) to zoom out.

Note: You can also use the + and – keys in the numeric keypad to zoom the Timeline.

How far you can zoom into the Timeline depends on what units the Timeline Ruler is

set to display. The larger the units the Timeline is set to display, the farther you can

zoom out. For example, you can zoom out farther, in order to view more shots in the

Timeline simultaneously, when the Timeline Ruler is set to Minutes then when it’s set to

Frames.
