Playhead Jumps While Playing In-Out

PostThu Jun 08, 2023 4:40 pm

So I've got a bunch of interviews. I use a timeline to pull the selects into timelines for each subject. From those timelines I populate bins for each section of the program. When building the edit from the bins I can play in-out and it's fine but whenever I stop playback with either K or spacebar the playhead jumps to a fixed point in the source media.

What determines this point? I thought it might be where I left the playhead on the selects timeline but that's not it. Doesn't really matter where it is though. I just need K to stop the playhead where it is. Any suggestions? Is there a checkbox I'm missing?

Good Luck

Right click on the Stop button in the Viewer.

Is the Go To Last Position option turned on?

No, but that seems to be what it's doing. If I drag the playhead anywhere in the clip, that point becomes the origin. If invoke play in-out the playhead moves to selection. As soon as I hit K/Spacebar the playhead returns to whatever point I last manually touched on the clip. I'd consider it a bug unless there's some underlying logic I don't follow.

Actually, testing your directions above I believe this is normal and expected behavior.

You may need to adjust your work flow here.

The simplest reacharound is to hit ⇧I, then the playhead goes to the in and responds as it should when paused.

Why? Please illuminate, I can't think of a single scenario in which this would be the desired behavior.

Play In to Out is a 'special operation'. It makes sense for the playhead to return to where it was after that is completed.
