Audio Editor Controls

The left side of the Audio Editor contains four rows of controls for the audio track
currently in view. The top row controls playback; the second row controls the In and
Out points of the audio track; the third row controls the selected track’s level; and the
fourth row controls the selected track’s pan settings.

Audio Playback Controls

The playback controls in the Audio Editor do not control playback in the Canvas. Rather,
they allow you to listen to the audio component of your project without being
distracted by (or slowed down by) the visual component.

There are four playback controls:

Jump to start: Moves the playhead to the beginning of the audio clip or to the
beginning of the marked region (if the “Use marked region” button is turned on).

Play/Pause: Starts and stops playback in the Audio Editor.

Use marked region: Restricts playback to the play range (the In and Out points) for the
selected audio track. For more information, see “

Audio Play Range Controls

” on

page 106.

Current frame field: Indicates the current playhead position in the Audio Editor. You
can also use this field to change the current frame.
