The playhead can be controlled from the Viewer. The timeline playhead determines which frame is displayed in the viewer. This makes it easy to export specific sections of a project, rather than entire timelines.
This region of the timeline is used when looping playback and when exporting your project. The in and out points define the Work Area. This can be particularly useful for looping playback around a specific cut or visual effects sequence. The work area can be defined using the Set In Point and Set Out Point buttons with the playhead at the desired frames. When activated, playback will loop once the playhead reaches the end of the timeline or the end of the work area. The Viewer’s contents and available tools will vary depending on your chosen timeline.Īlong the bottom of the Viewer are the playback controls. The Viewer is linked to your currently active timeline. It’s also where you’ll make many of your compositing decisions, adjusting layers and masks directly instead of using the Controls panel. The Viewer is where you see the results of your editing and compositing.
