Final answer:
Moving or adjusting timeline in/out points during playback in software involves using the timeline ruler to set and adjust these points, often while holding a modifier key. Exact methods may vary by application.
Step-by-step explanation:
To move or adjust the timeline in/out points in the ruler section of a digital audio workstation (DAW) or video editing software while a piece is playing, you would typically use the software's timeline ruler where the playhead moves across during playback. Many DAWs and video editors allow you to set in/out points, which are markers that define the beginning and end of a section you want to play, loop, or edit.
While the track is playing,
- Press and hold a modifier key (often 'Shift', 'Ctrl', or 'Cmd' depending on the software and operating system) and click on the timeline ruler to set the in-point at the desired starting time.
- Continue playback and click again at the desired end time to set the out-point.
Some software might also allow dragging of the in/out points to adjust their position during playback directly on the timeline. Please consult the help guide or documentation of your specific software as the exact method can vary.
