Thanks, Matt ... I hadn't realized that was there!

 

This should be like the typical working process was in SpeedGrade, then ... which I did find easy to mentally 'track'. I'll have to try this.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...

Go to Preferences > Timeline > Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling and set it to "Smooth Scroll".
