Using Dynamic Transport Mode
with Loop Playback
Use Dynamic Transport mode in conjunction with
Loop Playback to specify the loop start and end
points with the Timeline selection while using the
Play Start Marker to specify where playback be-
gins. This is especially useful for auditioning loop
transitions. Note that enabling Dynamic Transport
mode automatically enables Loop Playback mode.

1 Enable Dynamic Transport mode.
2 Ensure that Loop Playback mode is enabled.
3 Make a Timeline selection to loop.
4 Reposition the Play Start Marker before the
Timeline Selection Out Point.
5 Start playback.
Playback starts before the loop end point and con-
tinues across the loop point through the loop start.
You can reposition the Timeline Selection Start
and End Markers by dragging them left or right,
even during playback.
Press Control+N (Mac) or Start+N (Win-
dows) to toggle the Timeline Insertion/Play
