Setting the Playhead Quickly
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 File Editor (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 snapping is
turned on. For information on setting the Snap To value, see “
Using Snapping ” on
page 94. You can also set the playhead by using the transport controls or the Playhead
Location value slider.
Note: If you click the Time ruler, you may accidentally activate the cycle region. Press
Option-X to remove the cycle region. Press C to turn the cycle region on or off. For
more information about using the cycle region, see “
Working with the Cycle Region ”
on page 134.
