Movie Edit Pro 2013 Premium 

--> Very strange.  All of a sudden my marker (orange triangle) still works but when I hit 'play' to preview the preview starts from the beginning of my movie and not by marker (orange triangle). 

--> Have no idea how to reset this so that when I hit play it previiews at my marker. 

 

Would appreciate the trick to do this.  I 've looked at manuals ect and it tells me the definition but I must of toggled something or am not doing something right.  Thanks in advance.

Hi

This is one of those options that you often miss - you can stare at the screen and just not see it

The option you want is in the progam settings ( Y key ) - on the Playback tab, Spacebar behaviour .

Hi Lezned,

This also happens occasionally for no apparent good reason (if you have your settings correct, which I'm assuming).

Usually File > Settings > Reset to deafults (and re-oepening your project) will fix it.

I'm not arguing with the answers given - and thank you for them by the way - but I had a little different experience. I had the same problem, that out of the blue the project I was working on started playing back from the beginning instead of from the marker. I searched the forum, found the advice given here, tried both, but still had the same problem. However, I started a new project, imported the same video file and everything worked as per normal - playback begins from wherever the marker is. Then I tried opening the other project again (File / Open Project / Browse to the project file) and it still has the same problem - playback starts from the beginning every time. It appears something happened to that particular project that cannot be undone (unless there is a project setting I am not aware of).
