Starting and stopping playback – Apple Color 1.5 User Manual
Page 167
In Color, playback is always constrained to the area of the Timeline from the In point to
the Out point. If the playhead is already within this area, then playback begins at the
current position of the playhead, and ends at the Out point. If the playhead happens to
be outside of this area, it automatically jumps to the In point when you next initiate
playback. This makes it faster to loop the playback of a specific shot or scene in the
Timeline, which is a common operation during color correction sessions. For more
information, see:
