Chapter 7 Timeline Playback, Navigation, and Editing 127
Important: When you start playback, you enter a mode in which you’re unable to work
with the Color controls until you stop playback.
To stop the program, do one of the following:
m Press the spacebar while the program is playing.
m Press Escape.
m Press K.
Toggling the Playback Mode
The playback mode lets you choose whether the In and Out points are automatically
changed to match the duration of the current shot whenever you move the playhead,
or whether they remain set to a larger portion of your program.
Shot Mode
Shot mode is the default playback method. Whenever the playhead moves to a new
shot, the Timeline In and Out points are automatically changed to match that shot’s
Project In and Project Out points. As a result, playback is constrained to just that shot. If
Loop Playback is enabled, the playhead will loop repeatedly over the current shot until
playback is stopped.
Note: You can still click other shots in the Timeline to select them, but the In and Out
points don’t change until the playhead is moved to intersect another shot.
Movie Mode
When you first enter movie mode, the Timeline In point is set to the first frame of the
first shot in the Timeline, and the Out point is set to the last frame of the last shot. This
allows you to play through as many shots as you like, previewing whole scenes of your
project. While in Movie Mode, you can also set your own In and Out points wherever
you want, and they won’t update when you move the playhead to another shot.
Placing Your Own In and Out Points
Regardless of what playback mode you’ve chosen, you can always manually set new In
and Out points wherever you want to. Setting your own In and Out points
automatically changes the playback mode to movie mode.
To toggle the playback mode, do one of the following:
m Choose Timeline > Toggle Playback Mode.
m Press Shift-Control-M.
Color and JKL
Color has a partial implementation of the JKL playback controls that are so well used
in other editing applications. However, the finer points of JKL, such as slow-motion
and frame-by-frame playback, are not implemented.
