Setting the Playhead Using the Time Display
When a project is playing, the Time display constantly updates to show the current
position of the playhead in both Time-based and Beats-based formats. You can also set
the playhead to a new position by entering the position in the Time display.
The arrangement of the Time-based and Beats-based positions in the Time display
changes depending on the time format of the project. The position matching the time
format of the project appears in large, white numerals in the upper part of the Time
display, and the other position appears below it in smaller, gray numerals. Each position
is labeled for quick visual recognition.

Drag the playhead where you
