Note: For normal playback, when multiple events are selected, playback begins from the last event
clicked. The Play Highlight feature treats multi-selection differently, however – see Section 6.2.8)
PLAY POSITION INDICATOR
Figure 52
During playback, a triangular white marker referred to as the Play Position Indicator is overlaid on
the event currently being shown on 3P
LAY output.
Of course, since events can coincide and/or overlap, the segment currently playing may well occur
in more than a single event. In such cases, the first event encountered containing the frame
displayed shows the Play Position Indicator. If playback continues beyond the Out Point of that
event, it moves to the next valid entry, if any – otherwise, it remains on the last valid entry (during
Highlight playback, however, the indicator always marks the currently playing event).
6.4.8.5 TRIMMING
The In Point and Duration of events can be modified interactively or by direct numeric entry. As
noted earlier, use the Jog/Shuttle or Jump buttons to move to a frame, and press ALT + MARK IN
to update the current In Point, or ALT + MARK OUT to reset the Duration.
Alternatively, when you move the mouse above the In Point with the Alt key depressed, the cursor
becomes a double-headed arrow, indicating that you can drag left or right to modify the current In
Point.
The Duration field can be modified in a similar manner. When dragging the mouse above the
Duration field (with Alt depressed), the frame representing the Out Point is displayed on the
output monitors (requires that playback be stopped first); the display snaps back to the In Point on
release.
