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.
Moving the Playhead Using Timecode
You can use absolute or relative timecode entry to either move the playhead in both the Source
and Timeline Viewers, or to move or trim selected edit points or clips. When navigating the
Timeline, timecode entry lets you move the playhead very precisely, or jump to specific
timecode values really quickly.
TIP: The method of timecode entry described here is used for many different
commands that require timecode entry and is designed for fast and efficient editing.
How to Enter Timecode Values
When entering timecode, type each pair of hour, minute, second, and frame values from left to
right, with a period representing a pair of zeros for fast entry. The numbers you enter appear in
the timecode field at the upper right-hand corner of the Viewer with focus. When you’re finished
typing, press the Return key to execute the timecode command. The rules for timecode entry
are as follows:
 The right-most pair of timecode values (or period) you enter is always the
frame number.
 A period to the left or to the right of any number you type is considered to
be a pair of zeroes.
 A single period between two numbers is considered to either be a single zero, or
ignored if it’s between two pairs of numbers.
 Any untyped pairs of values to the left of what you enter are assumed to be
whatever those values were prior to the timecode you entered; this makes it easy to
type partial timecode values even when the Timeline starts at hour one.
 It’s not necessary to enter colons or semicolons.
