AVMaestroFRPS Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Clicking on the timeline places an arrow at that point. Pressing "Play" starts playback from the beginning, not the arrow. Spacebar has no effect. Clicking on a transition point highlights it and places a dotted line at that point. Pressing "Play" starts playback from the beginning, not the transition point. Spacebar has no effect. Pressing "Play" and then clicking either the timeline or a transition point starts playback from the desired point. BUT, only then can you use the Spacebar to pause or restart. What I want to happen is to be able to playback and pause from the cursor position on the timeline, both by clicking "Play/Pause" and by pressing the Spacebar.It's very annoying that the cursor keeps jumping back to the start.

However, if you click "Play", then "Pause", then hit the spacebar or hit "play" again, the small preview will continue where it left off. You can then "Pause", re-position the cursor, and it will begin playing from the new position when you hit the spacebar or "Play".You have to remember however, not to click "Stop", or everything will start all over again from the beginning. The spacebar always imitates the last button you pressed. You can also preview the show from a specific point if you highlight one of the blue rectangular transition markers and press "Preview". Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVMaestroFRPS Posted July 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Thanks, that is helpful. But it would be better if you didn't have to click "Play" first as I would have thought that most people would want to select the point first and "Play" from there.Welcome to the forum,You are right in what you say, so far - it's one of the quirks of PTE.

It actually works out quite well when you get used to it. One usually wants to play from the beginning the first time through. Then, you just have to remember not to press "stop".
