# Moving the playhead to preview a slide

The playhead moves through the Timeline to indicate how the currently displayed slide will appear in the movie. It is a quick way to preview a single slide and check object timing. The Timeline header shows time, in seconds.

#### To move the playhead:

1. Open a Captivate movie.

2. Double-click on a slide.

3. If it is not open already, show the Timeline by clicking on the splitter bar . To expand the Timeline, click on the display arrow.

   Click on the black arrow.

4. Click the playhead (Example), hold the mouse button down, and drag the playhead to the left or right. Or, to display an individual object, click the playhead, hold the mouse button down, and drag the playhead to the left edge of an object. The object appears on the slide.

   The small red arrow below shows the playhead on the Timeline.
