Cursor not moving during playback.

Movie Studio 17 Platinum

When I try to play a clip back, the cursor does not move on the timeline at all, making it very awkward to edit. On stop the cursor jumps to the new position on the timeline.

How to make the cursor move along the timeline in sync with playback?

Thanks!

I'm suddenly experiencing the same issue in Vegas Pro 23.

@SGLTech  ... re Vegas Pro 23, the cursor problem has been talked about in:

https://www.vegascreativesoftware.info/us/forum/23-0-build-356-playback-cursor-broken--150472/

Assuming that you have VP23 build 356 installed, the best advice is to uninstall build 356 and re-install the previous build, 302.

@Arathra Has anything changed on your system lately such as a GPU driver update?

I think I know what you are talking about.

There are these 3 dots under preview screen which open a menu that allows to change the visible button set and enable make spacebar play/pause instead of play/stop. Try to find it in ur window layout!
