Locating the Playback Cursor
Use the Playback Cursor locator to locate the
playback cursor when it is off-screen. The Play-
back Cursor locator appears on the right edge of
the Main Timebase ruler if the playback cursor is
located beyond the time visible in the Edit win-
dow. If the playback cursor is located before the
time visible in the Edit window, the Playback
Cursor locator appears on the left edge of the
Main Timebase ruler.
For example, if the Scrolling option is set to
None, the playback cursor will move off-screen
after it has played past the time currently visible
in the Edit window. The Playback Cursor locator
will appear on the right edge of the Main Time-
base ruler after the playback cursor moves be-
yond the time visible in the Edit window.
The Playback Cursor locator is red when a track
is record-enabled and blue when no track is
record-enabled.
To locate the playback cursor when it is off-screen:
■
Click the Playback Cursor locator in the Main
Timebase ruler.
The Edit window changes to center the playback
cursor on-screen.
