The Now Time
The Now time is the current time in the project. In the Clips pane of the Track
view, the Now time is indicated by a vertical line. The Now time is also shown in
the Transport toolbar, both in MBT (measure/beat/tick) format and in time code
format (hour/minute/second/frame). During playback, the Now time increases in
accordance with the progress of the project.
You can set the Now time of the project by clicking in the Time Ruler in the Clips
pane, or (when playback is paused) by dragging the Now time slider in the Large
Transport toolbar.
While you are playing the project, you may want to keep an eye on the Now time.
The Big Time view displays the Now time in a large font so you can more easily see
it from a distance. To open this view, choose View-Big Time. You can change the
time format displayed in the Big Time window by clicking on it. You can change its
font by right-clicking on it.
Starting from a Marker
Markers make it easier to find certain points within the project. You may want to
set markers at the beginning of each section of your project or at times with which
some event must be synchronized. The Markers toolbar lets you move the Now
time to a marker, add a new marker at the Now time, and edit the marker list. If
