bro why can't i just see the "play button" ??

i can't watch my project in the reference window, so I can't edit it.  it's not even playing! i have a movie to finish on time. please help me, i've never seen something like that.

by the way, do you think is a Mac really the best option for editing? Those who use computers other than Mac, are you having problems? Can you deal with these?

I can repro the behavior here.

what do  you mean?

[Bruce Bullis]

Sorry, that was vague: I can reproduce the behavior here; yes, there definitely should be a Play button in the Reference monitor. My team (which owns the reference monitor) is urgently investigating.

thabks a lot, i owe you..

thanks a lot, i owe you..

[Bruce Bullis]

You don't owe me anything, particularly since...I was wrong! The Reference monitor has never had a play button! 

[I went as far back as the behavioral specification from 2005; no play button.]

I think the common workflow is to gang playback to the Program monitor; happily, that button is available. 🙂

but, how?.. it always had a play button. here's a screenshot from the same project but old one. and look at the all these buttons! where are they?

ohhhhhh wait i just get it! Hahahaha i guess i'm not good as an editor..

Thanks a lot for your time!

[Looks like the Program monitor is front-most]
