Using Dynamic Transport Mode
with Loop Playback
Use Dynamic Transport mode in conjunction
with Loop Playback to specify the loop start and
end points with the Timeline selection while us-
ing the Play Start Marker to specify where play-
back begins. This is especially useful for audi-
tioning loop transitions.
Enabling Dynamic Transport mode automati-
cally enables Loop Playback mode.
To audition a loop transition:
1 Enable Dynamic Transport mode (Options >
Dynamic Transport).
2 Ensure that Loop Playback mode is enabled
(Options > Loop Playback).
3 Make a Timeline selection to loop. If Link
Timeline and Edit Selection is enabled (Options
> Link Timeline and Edit Selection), you can
make an Edit selection instead.
4 Reposition the Play Start Marker before the
Timeline Selection End Marker.
5 Start playback.
Playback starts before the loop end point and
continues across the loop point through the
loop start. You can reposition the Timeline Se-
lection Start and End Markers by clicking and
dragging them left or right, even during play-
back.
