Shortcut to focus track on currently playing clip?

Post by twinesound » Fri Jan 13, 2023 6:59 am

Hello,

I have a huge session with hundreds of clips. I'm using follow actions to randomly jump to clips. I want Live to move the screen focus so I can see the currently playing clip without having to scroll around and search for it. Is there a command to jump to current active clip on a track in scene view?

Thanks!

that is already set to on. It doesn't jump to the clip. What I'm looking for is say the clip is off screen, I want the window to scroll to the playing clip and show it on screen. I'm guessing it can't do it.

Well, we usually have clips playing simultaneously in multiple tracks... so the currently playing clip means: on which track? Or am I missing something?
