Activity Forums Avid Media Composer Timeline following playback?

  • Timeline following playback?

    Hey

    Weird issue. Booted up Avid this morning and out of now where I’m having this strange issue.

    When I’m zoomed into the timeline and hit play, the blue position indicator disappears and the timeline moves along with the playback. I’ve rebooted my computer and tried a few other general fixes but can’t seem to fix this one…

    Any ideas?

    It’s a preference. Look in your timeline or composer settings. I can’t remember which and not in front of a system.

    Try:
    Settings – Timeline – Display,
    try unclicking ‘Scroll while Playing’

    Most of the time I want the timeline to scroll, but sometimes the blue position bar vanishes when I’ve got a lot of video and audio tracks in the timeline.

    Got it. Thanks! Night AE was in the room and switched the settings. They have been appropriately castrated and burned at he stake for not using their own user settings.

    This was a funny one though…
