HI All

Only had the programme for 1 day so be gentle with me.

When trying to edit the exact position of an audio track i cant get a fine enough

position,on a DAW it is called Snap to Grid,is there an equivalent in Powerdirector 14?

Is there a way to stop the timeline marker returning to the beginning when i stop playback?

Thanks

Alan

Click on audio track in timeline. Hold down ALT key and use left and right arrow keys to move the clip frame by frame. Or use left and right arrows in preview pane to move cursor frame by frame.

Click on "gear" symbol on top left, click on editing, then uncheck the box for "switch to movie on playback". Regards,

asimmd, the pause (space bar or play/pause icon) option will keep the timeline scrubber at the current position. The stop (Ctrl + / or stop icon) option will stop and return the timeline scrubber to the start.

You can also zoom in on the timeline "+" key for better scene control as well, the comma or period, "," or "." will move one frame backward or fwd as desired.

Hello, baranidharan!

Please open a separate thread for your question! DirectorZone Forum etiquette requires that you do not "jump in" on anther person's thread.

Cheers!
