Found another thing I didn’t know about.
Is this new? If it’s not new, it is now new to me.
Clip Skimming (command-option-s, default shortcut).
It allows you to skim on a clip by clip (layer by layer) basis.
Great when you want to look at clips below other layers. When you want to skim the whole timeline, simply move above/below the layers (or turn it off).

I found that as well last week, I don’t remember it from the previous version. As you say it’s a very useful tool.

Yes, clip skimming is new. Great for stacks and for the angle editor.
All the best,

I’m probably the last one to this party, but I just discovered today that I can skim individual audio tracks in the inspector. This is great news to me in that it’s now easy to see which channel the good audio is. I put the cursor over the track I want to hear and wait for the skimmer to appear, then press play (L).

How funny. I’d already been doing this since the beginning but only because I figured out that some of the selection tools (range and trim for example) allow clip skimming. Is there anything different to it than what those tools allow?

It allows it on the arrow tool and it’s off by default so you have to turn it on.
Allows you to press and hold for the temporary tool you need and you release you’re on the arrow tool, but can still skim individual layers.
