• Now the first file is in the project window where it can be cut, edited and
exported. Now you can load additional files and videos and combine audio files
on the tracks.
• To play back the project, click the play button on the transport console under the
program monitor to the left.
Tip: An even easier way to control playback is by pressing the space bar on your
keyboard.
• During playback a vertical line will move across the project window. This is the
playback marker that displays the current position. It can be set directly with a
mouse click in order to jump to certain positions.
• You can also define playback ranges, e.g. to freeze a certain position independent
of the playback marker. Clicking in the range bar above the first track lets you
define an in-point, i.e. the starting point of the playback range. If you right-click
further on, the end marker will appear to indicate the end point of the playback
range. The length of the playback area is shown in the center of the section
display.
• The in and out points can be moved with the mouse: Left-clicking positions the
in-point, and the right mouse button sets the out-point.
• To play back the range, click the "Play back range" button on the transport
control under the program monitor.
