Scrubbing Audio in the Player

You can scrub audio in the Player to accurately locate a precise position or a specific sound in the audio track using the positioner in the timebar. You can also scrub audio in the timeline (see Scrubbing Audio in the Timeline).

You can perform a locked rate scrub or a free form scrub in the Player.

A Locked Rate scrub is used to scrub the audio at the normal speed of the audio or slower, depending on how quickly you drag the positioner. This is a standard audio scrub, useful for finding a precise location in the audio track.

A Free Form Scrub is used to scrub the audio according to the speed with which you drag the positioner. You will hear non-continuous synchronized audio, based on the current position. This is useful for quick interaction while dragging the positioner and to get audio feedback.

To perform a locked rate scrub in the Player:

1. While pressing Ctrl+Shift, drag the positioner in the timebar.

   The audio scrubs at, or below, normal speed.

To perform a free form scrub in the Player:

1. While pressing Ctrl, drag the positioner in the timebar.

   The audio scrubs with the video, and you hear the audio (synchronized with the video) intermittently.
