This software is not Sony Vegas.
Try this: Go to Preference/Editing/ Uncheck Switch to movie mode auto… Anytime you highlight a clip, hit the spacebar and it will play to the end of the clip and return to the start of the clip.
if you do this as Tomasc suggested , split the clip at 1:30 then you can use the spacebar to play/pause and HOME key to return to 1:30
I believe that is what you want to accomplish.
Thanks for your comments. I'm not great at these video editing programs. I was getting the hang of Vegas but PD16 has some features I would like so I'm trying to switch. I generally use these programs to edit live music videos. Practices, little gigs etc. Often I want to cut some of it out but keep in time. That requires a lot of trial and error to find just the right spots to punch in and out. I had hoped to avoid having to set markers or split the track every time I try one spot. Sometimes you have to just try one , if it's wrong move it over a little, over and over. So setting a bunch or markers or splits only requires adding many steps. Hitting "home" goes back to the start of the clip not to where I started playback. I'm just asking if someone knows how to set a shortcut so it simply returns to where I started playback, which could be anywhere without splitting the clip. For example, in another program "space" does that and "enter" pauses.
