I would love options for both a locked playhead and returning playhead.

4 years have passed! Please make this option available in edit page!

I'm going to add my second +1 to this. I want this feature on both the Edit and Color page.

I've legitimately had to start using another program for audio thanks to the lack of of this feature, and would love to go back to just Resolve.

(As an FYI Natalie, we can lock the playhead on the Fairlight page.)

+1 This would be a huge time saver. Hope to see it in the next beta!

I believe BMD wants to surprise us with Locked Playhead as the key feature in the Resolve 19 update right?

i dont think BMD read these pages but im adding my +1 to it, crazy that its missing

They do absolutely read these pages. Don't assume just because a fix or a change doesn't happen immediately means they don't care.

How do you know? With the amount of posts being generated, I would be surprised if they read every post. They might read some posts, but many more will just get buried in the ocean of posts, never to be read by anyone from BMD. That is why I suggested the feature to rate bugfixes and feature requests, in order to rank posts according to upvotes. So that there can be a priority list according to user's requests.

i talked many times with BM in the last 15 years and yes they read the posts and discuss the requests being made.

form there, it's a tug of war internally between accommodate new features (first priority), vs fix and improve things.

I have observed that certain people are able to get someone to do something by asking them again and again to do it.

My wife is very skillful at this, so I am here to apply the wisdom she has imparted to me.

+1, again.

Apple finally added this feature to FCP after 10 years, so it must be a really hard thing to do!!!

It’s a delicate balance act!

Still squeaking..

I see the latest version of Final Cut has this. Cool.

Couple of things I noticed from a youtube video I saw: the timeline motion looks a little jittery. Hard to say how bad it is unless you review in person, but obviously something to be avoided if possible.

Also, clearly there are times when you would want to turn this off (e.g. looping review to refine an effect) so I would hope if BM do this that they allow for a quick (keyboard shortcut!) on/off toggle.

Please please

I signed up for this forum specifically to request this... new user coming over from Premiere Pro, but this is nearly a dealbreaker.. super annoying to not have the play head lock feature in Edit mode. If it already exists in the Cut view, it doesn't strike me as that difficult of a feature to add elsewhere.

of course +1

and btw. that locked playhead should be with intensive timeline update - with ready to scroll track thunbnails and audio waveforms.
