Cursor goes back to the beginning

Hello. I just upgraded to Vegas Pro 9.0 and I'm trying to "tweak" my preferences. Everytime I play a video on the t/l, the cursor goes back to the beginning of the clip when I hit the space bar to stop playing. I would like the cursor to stay where it is when it is stopped. Anyone know what setting is needed to change this?

Thanks

Options->Preferences->"Make Spacebar and F12 Play/Pause instead of Play/Stop"

Or you can leave the settings alone and just hit "Enter" to stop playback instead of the spacebar. I use the Enter key on the numeric keypad for this purpose, it's conveniently located where I can tap it with the side of my thumb using the same hand I use with my trackball.

Hey John
I never thought of using the old thumb trick to hit the enter key, I have a mouse not a trackball so I have a little more movement but it works great, i also have that command on my Shuttle Pro2 but sometimes in don't use it when I am editing something short.

Cudo's to the master I bow in your direction (wherever that may be)

I far prefer leaving the default behavior too. That way i have both pause and stop available on the keyboard.

I have noticed that this option

Options->Preferences->"Make Spacebar and F12 Play/Pause instead of Play/Stop"

is not available in Vegas Pro 22. Do you also not see this option?

@marcinzm

This changed with Vegas Pro 21 - the spacebar option is now a button under the preview window.

You have to make sure that all the thumbnails are visible.
