Selected items are highlighted. Paste operations within the Clips List (and Play List) will be
inserted below the currently selected event, or at the end when no item is selected (as when
pasting into new, empty pages). When dealing with multi-selected items, insertions are in order
of selection. If a Clips List asset is unavailable for any reason, it is shown with a red border.

Hint: Another way to remove selected events from the Clips List is to press the Remove button on
the control surface, or the Del key on the keyboard.

12.3 CLIP TRANSPORT

You can move through the currently displayed clip by pressing Play (and Stop), or by using the
Jog Wheel on the control surface or Dashboard. Clip playback can also be initiated by double-
clicking the Memo field for a clip, or by pressing the keyboard Spacebar (press again to halt play).

Transport within a clip is normally constrained by the In Point and Out Point timecode values.
Hold Alt while using the Jog/Shuttle controls to move to a position prior to the current In Point,
or past the current Out Point. This may be useful when you wish to update the In Point or Out
Point
using Alt + Mark In/Out as described in the prior sub-heading.

12.3.1 PLAY SPEED

Play Speed is governed by the control surface T-Bar position, Speed Preset (25%, 33%, etc.)
selection, and their Dashboard equivalents.

Selecting a preset (or adjusting the T-Bar position) sets the speed for playback, but does not
initiate it. During play, however, Play Speed changes are applied immediately. This selection is a
top level system playback setting, and is applied to all sources (with the exception noted below),
as opposed to a setting that applies just to the current clip.

Note: Live playback is always at 100% Play Speed (i.e., actual speed) when Record is in-operative.

PLAY SPEED AND OUTPUT MODES

The Play Speed settings for Output A and Output B are independent of one another, except in
cases when the A + B mode is selected. In that case, new settings apply to both Output A and
Output B. They both respect the current Speed setting.
