continuos playhead
Hello everybody,
I use to edit on a “discreet edit 6” system for a while and one of the things I use to love is that the playhead didn’t stop unless I stopped it. No matter what I did. It wouldn’t stop unless I made it stop. So what that use to allow me to do is realtime slip / slide while the playhead was in a loop between in / out over a cut.
Is there anyway to allow final cut pro to do this?
Thanks in advance

Sure, there’s two ways to do it:
For both ways you’ll need to enable View > Loop Playback, make the clip or transition selection on the timeline and choose the tool you’re going to use before going one of these:
1) Use the ‘Play Around Current” (backslash key) which will loop around your current frame according to the pre and post roll settings in User Preferences.
2) Mark an in and out point on the timeline and use the “Play in to out” (shift-backslash key)

Dear Martin,
Those two options I know and thanks for the reply but the part that I really want to know is to allow the playhead to play and “not stop” unless I stop it.
For example if I start to slip and slide it stops the play head.

If you slip and slide using the mouse it stops the playhead, using the keyboard for slip and slide does not.

Jeffrey,
I think you are referring to the fact that the timeline cursor always stays in view and updates the Timeline view(like in edit*)instead of disappearing at the end of your current TL window. FCP doesn’t do this, unfortunately.
