Play Around Edit Loop: Click to play from a point before the current playhead position

to a point following. The time intervals before and after the playhead position are
determined by the preview pre-roll and post-roll settings in the Editing tab of the User
Preferences window. For more information, see

“Choosing Settings and Preferences.”

Stop: Click to stop playback and position the playhead on the edit point.

Go to Next Edit: Click to move the next edit point in your sequence into the active area

of the Trim Edit window.

Playback Controls for Individual Clips
These controls allow you to move the playhead on either side of the edit point without
modifying the edit point itself. The outgoing and incoming clips have separate playback
controls, which can also be controlled by the J, K, and L keys. The playback controls are
for viewing only; they don’t change the position of an edit point.

Important:

The Space bar plays around the selected edit point in the Timeline; it does

not control playback in either side of the Trim Edit window. For more information, see

“Playing Incoming and Outgoing Clips in the Trim Edit Window.”
