Feature request: source panel "free play" toggle, allow previewing media while scrubbing timelines

[Alex285700413gkf]

My big idea is to have the source panel have the option to "free play". Often, I'm previewing music or sfx tracks in the source window and I'd like to scrub through sequences/ edits to see if the music will fit the raw footage. Why is this not a feature? It would be a simple button on the bottom or a setting in the wrench in the source panel.  Thanks.

So both the Source monitor would be displaying clips from a bin, while the Program monitor is playing back a sequence?

Yes. Why not? Any average PC/Mac can simultaneously playback multiple 4K videos from the same drive. Why can't Premiere/After Effects do this?
