Playhead
The Playhead is the name given to the graphic that sits on the timeline and represents the position of the current frame.
Please note that in both edit & notate modes, the Playhead is coloured white when Poster Frame Scrubbing is switched on. Poster frame scrubbing shows images rather than video while scrubbing through the timeline.
