Video Transcript

"This is C.J. South representing expertvillage.com. In this clip I will show you how to loop your playback. So why would you want to loop your playback. Well if there is only one section of audio that you want to change and you know that it is going to take you a little while to figure it out because you have to hear it as it changes to know what you want. Well instead of every time you get past that spot stopping and rewinding and restarting it again and rewinding and making another change and started it again. You could just set it to play to loop in between your in and out points. So come down here to the time line and set your in and out points. It is always a good idea to set your in and out points like a couple of seconds outside of what you actually want to listen to that way you have a little bit of buffer zone. So just set your in and out point. Okay, that's set. Then come up here to view, slide all the way down and this little thing called loop playback, make sure that it is checked off. If it's not, click it and check it. Now you've enabled loop playback. So to play it you have to go up now to mark and then go down to play in to out. So as you can hear it just kind of loops back. It plays and it loops back on itself. This is just a fantastic tool like I said for when you have a particular portion you need to change. While you are looping this, you can be up in the audio mixer here messing with levels, doing pans, whatever you want to do. "
