In the Adobe Premiere Pro Timeline, the “current-time indicator” appears as a vertical line that moves through the Timeline over all your clips. It shows the location of the current frame in each monitor’s time ruler. The current-time indicator appears at the light blue triangle on the ruler. You can use the current-time indicator to paste in clips at specific points in the timeline.
