This shadow can make it easier to see the playhead’s position, and it can also serve as a
measuring tool for projects where you have an interest in visualizing a specific offset, in frames,
both before and after the current position of the playhead. This offset can be adjusted by
changing the Pre- and Post-Playhead Shadow Length parameters in the Editing panel of the
User Preferences, which let you specify the number of frames to shadow both before and after
the playhead. The default length of the playhead shadow is 5 frames.
TIP: You can set the “Pre-playhead shadow length” to 0, and the “Post-playhead
shadow length” to 1 if you want to display a “Media Composer-style” playhead that
shows the duration of the current frame.
Enabling and Disabling Audio Scrubbing
Audio scrubbing is enabled by default, meaning that you’ll hear audio when dragging the
playhead with the mouse back and forth. While this can be useful when you’re searching for
audio cues, it can also be distracting if you’re just focused on the picture.
To enable or disable audio scrubbing:
Choose Timeline > Audio Scrubbing (Shift-S)
Playback Post-Roll
Enables the playhead to continue playing past the last clip in the Timeline for a duration equal
to the “Post-roll time” Project Setting in the Editing panel. This is good for editors that want to
experience a few moments of playback after cutting or fading to black after the last frame of
audio and video in the Timeline.
To enable or disable playback post-roll:
Choose Timeline > Playback post-roll
Switching Among Multiple Timelines
Timelines can be organized like any other clip in the Media Pool. To open or switch among
timelines, use the following procedures.
To switch timelines, do one of the following:
Double-click a timeline in the Media Pool on any page.
Turn on Stacked Timelines in the Timeline View Options menu of the Edit page
toolbar, so that all timelines you open appear as tabs. Clicking different tabs switches
to that timeline.
In the Edit page Timeline Viewer, choose a timeline from the Timelines drop-down
menu at the top of the viewer.
In the Color page, choose a timeline from the Timelines drop-down menu at the top
of the Viewer.
In the Fairlight page, choose a timeline from the Timelines drop-down menu to the
left of the transport controls.
