playback cursor disappears when looping separate edit & timeline selections
to illustrate take a look at the 2 screengrabs.
both have separate edit & timeline selections (ES & TS) and playback is set to loop. the problem is that when the ES is earlier than the TS (pic A) the playback cursor disappears whereas in the pic B situation ie ES later than TS - it appears & behaves as you would expect. Also PT forgets to loop the ES sometimes too and playback just sails past the end of the ES so what's that about? I am using the square bracket keys to switch between the ES & TS. Is this supposed to happen or is it a glitch? is there some other setting i am missing? Does this happen on a mac or later versions of PT? i am using PT LE 8.05 on win 7 64. thanks. edit: in fact it seems the playback cursor needs a bit of encouragement to move across the screen when using loop playback generally eg stopping playback and re-starting can get it moving again. i haven't tested it with fully with markers yet. has nobody using LE on windows encountered this glitch before ? maybe its a graphics card thing but i've never had a problem like this in any other daw.

Re: playback cursor disappears when looping separate edit & timeline selections
Hi,
Looks like "like timeline and edit selection" is off A little box under the tools bar looks like up and down arrows and left right arrows together. chris

which will loop separately. the point i am making is that the playback cursor disappears when an ES is earlier than a TS but not when an ES is later than a TS. i would be interested to know if anyone can replicate this. edit: in fact there doesn't seem to be any logic as to when looped playback occurs when u have separate edit and timeline selections although timeline selections are more consistently looped. In any case I don't see any reason why the cursor should freeze or disappear other than it being a graphics glitch. Last edited by Calon; 02-07-2014 at 03:12 PM. |

In PT 11.1.2HD, the playback cursor across all tracks is displayed when playing back. Does not matter, if the ES is earlier or later than the TS. I believe, in stop there is no blinking cursor because PT does not know yet, if it should playback the ES or TS.
