Just upgraded to PD 19 from 17, seems exactly the same.... but I recall a year ago seeing they added one new useful feature Audio Scrubing, which makes precise jump cut edits so much easier when going off of the audio.

Does anyone know where this feature is in PD 19? I swear I saw a review video featuring it forever ago which was the main reason I upgraded.

Such a useful feature most consumer software has had since 2010, Pinnicle 12 had it and that's saying something.

Oh, I usually use the frame by frame button underneath the preview video. I was hoping when I click on that it would also play the audio per frame, but it does not.

No, I don't think that would ever work at a frame level for timeline playback. For a 30fps timeline setting one is talking 33 msec per frame, the most sound pressure the human ear can detect in such short duration would sound like a simple click or pop. No audible tones, or any such thing. Much worse at 60fps. I don't see that as too practical of an editing aid.

Pinnicle Studio 12 had the feature 10 years ago. Its great for precise jump cuts with lots of talking. It helps to make the cut, rather than playing the video to listen for when the talking starts or stops. You can just click the frame by frame button and soon as you hear no audio or voice you make the cut.
