Setting the Playback Range

By default, when you play a clip from disk, you play it from its first frame to its last frame. If your clip has in and out points, these marks may be used to define the playback range, depending on the option you select from the Playback Range box.

NoteIf you play clips from memory, in and out points are disregarded, but you can use other options to define the playback range. See Playing Clips from Memory.

1. Click the Clip & Setup tab.
