The Playback Cursor Locator is red when any track is record-enabled and
blue when no tracks are record-enabled.
To locate the playback cursor when it is off screen, click the PLAYBACK
CURSOR LOCATOR in the Main Timebase Ruler. The Edit window’s waveform
display will jump to the playback cursor’s current onscreen location.
Scrolling Options
Pro Tools offers several different display options that affect how the contents
of the Edit window are displayed during playback and recording. The most
commonly used scrolling options are No Scrolling and Page Scrolling.
Additional options are discussed in advanced courses.
No Scrolling
Scrolling can be turned off by choosing OPTIONS > SCROLLING > NO
SCROLLING. This option prevents Pro Tools from scrolling the Edit window
during playback and recording. In this mode, the playback cursor moves off
screen and does not reposition the window when playback or recording is
stopped.
