Sequence duration and playhead position

The position of your playhead and the total sequence duration are noted at the bottom left of the Preview monitor.

Adjust Preview monitor size

Loop playback

Click the Loop Playback button to toggle looping playback on or off. With looped playback on, when the playhead reaches the end of the sequence, playback automatically begins again from the start.

More Playback And Sequence Options

• Set the frame orientation for your sequence from the More Playback And Sequence Options menu (the three dots at the lower right of the Preview monitor). You can choose Landscape, Portrait, or Square from the Orientation submenu.

Tip: The Preview Quality setting can improve or reduce performance on your device. Higher playback quality requires a more powerful computer, so play around with this setting to discover what works best for you.
