Moving the playhead

The playhead moves through the Timeline to indicate the current frame displayed on the Stage. The Timeline header shows the frame numbers of the animation. To display a frame on the Stage, you move the playhead to the frame in the Timeline.

When you're working with a large number of frames that can't all appear in the Timeline at once, you can move the playhead along the Timeline to easily locate the current frame.

To go to a frame:

Click the frame's location in the Timeline header, or drag the playhead to the desired position.

To center the Timeline on the current frame:

Click the Center Frame button at the bottom of the Timeline.
