Scroll a sequence during preview

You can set an option to automatically scroll a sequence when it is wider than the visible area in its Timeline panel.

  1. Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Premiere Pro > Preferences > General (Mac OS). Type the desired lengths in the Preroll and Postroll fields.
  2. Choose an option from the Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling menu:
    No Scroll
    Sequence doesn’t scroll.

    Page Scroll
    Sequence scrolls through the visible area of a Timeline panel a page at a time. This is the option set by default.

    Smooth Scroll
    Current-time indicator stays in the center of the visible area while the sequence scrolls under it.
