Chapter 8 Navigating and Using Timecode in the Viewer and Canvas 99

To play a clip or sequence between In and Out points:

1 Open a clip in the Viewer or make the Canvas or Timeline active.

2 Do one of the following:

Â Click the Play In to Out button.

Â Press Shift-\ (backslash).

Â Choose Mark > Play > In to Out.

If you want to preview how the cut you’ve made at the Out point will play, you can play

to the Out point. This is useful because it quickly shows you if you’ve left out a frame, or

if you need to shave off more frames. For example, if you’re editing dialogue, you can

make sure you cut out on the very last frame of a pause at the end of an “s” sound,

while leaving out an “i” sound that follows in the actor’s next sentence.

To play a clip from the current position of the playhead to the Out point:

1 Open a clip in the Viewer or make the Canvas or Timeline active.

2 Do one of the following:

Â Command-click the Play button.

Â Press Shift-P.

Â Choose Mark > Play > To Out.

You can also play around the current playhead position. This is useful if you want to

watch the outgoing and incoming media around an edit point, perhaps to decide how

you want to trim one side or the other.

To play a clip around the current playhead position:

1 Open a clip in the Viewer or make the Canvas or Timeline active.

2 Do one of the following:

Â Choose Mark > Play > Around.

Â Click Play Around Current Frame.

Â Press \ (backslash).

Note: The amount of video played depends on the pre-roll and post-roll settings in the

Editing tab of the User Preferences window. For more information, see Volume IV,

Chapter 22, “Choosing Settings and Preferences.”

You can also play every frame of a clip. This is useful for getting a preview of a clip or

sequence with effects applied, without rendering first. While the clip won’t play back at 1x

(normal) speed (it plays back somewhat more slowly, depending on the number of effects

applied and on the data rate of the clip), every frame plays back, with no frames dropped.
