Playhead Sync Pop-Up Menu

You can lock the Viewer playhead to the Canvas/Timeline playhead so that they move together while scrubbing through clips.

Note: This menu also appears in the Canvas, and the options are the same.

The following playhead sync modes are available from the Playhead Sync pop-up menu:

• Sync Off: The Viewer and Canvas playheads move independently of each another. This is the default behavior.
• Open: As the playhead moves through your sequence, the clip that appears at the current position of the playhead is automatically opened in the Viewer. Playhead sync between the Viewer and Canvas is maintained so the same frame is always open in both windows. This method is useful when you need to quickly adjust filters for a number of clips in a sequence, such as for color correction. Multiclip playback mode also turns on this playhead sync mode, so you can view multiple camera angles in the Viewer while you watch the active angle in the Canvas.
• Gang: This mode allows you to establish an arbitrary synchronization between the Viewer and Canvas/Timeline playheads. Each time you choose this mode, the current position of each playhead is used to set the sync relationship. For more information on ganging, see Matching Frames and Playhead Synchronization.
