Setting the Playhead

The playhead appears as a thin black line running vertically through the Timeline in
multitrack projects, and through the waveform display in audio file projects. Where it
crosses the Time ruler, the top of the playhead has a triangular handle that makes it
easier to see its position onscreen and drag the playhead.

To set the playhead, do one of the following:

m

Click anywhere in the Timeline (in a multitrack project) or the waveform display (in an
audio file project) to set the playhead to that position.

m

Drag the triangular handle at the top of the playhead to the position you want to set it.
As you drag the playhead, you hear the audio at the current playhead position.

When you set the playhead, it snaps to the nearest Snap To position if snap is turned on.
For information on setting the Snap To value, see “

Using Snap

” on page 72. You can also

set the playhead using the transport controls or using the Playhead Position value slider.

Drag the playhead where you

want it or click in the Timeline.

Drag the playhead where
you want it or click in the
waveform display.
