Note: The playhead in the Audio Editor is not the same as the playhead in the Timeline
and the Canvas. The Audio Editor playhead shows the current time within the selected
audio track rather than the current time within the entire project.

Audio Scrubbing

You can choose whether or not you want to hear the audio play when you drag the
playhead through the ruler in the Audio Editor. This is called audio scrubbing. To turn
audio scrubbing on or off, click the button in the lower-left corner of the Audio Editor.

Working in the Audio Editor

You can modify a number audio settings and view options using the controls in the Audio
Editor.

dragging to the left rewinds.

by one frame.

µ

Click in the field and type a new number.

To change the audio track’s end time
Do one of the following:
