How can you loop a specific section of your edit?

Looping a specific section of your edit allows you to create a repeated playback of that section without permanently altering the original clip. The correct method involves adding loop markers, which serve as indicators for the software to know where the loop should start and end. By using playback options that recognize these markers, you can set the section to repeat continuously during playback.

This approach is beneficial because it provides a seamless loop that can easily fit into your editing workflow, allowing for real-time adjustments and previews. It enables you to focus on refining that particular segment without the need to create multiple duplicate clips, which could lead to clutter in your timeline and complicate future edits. Loop markers ensure that your edits remain organized and manageable, while also providing the flexibility to test different transitions, effects, or timing for that section.

Other methods, while valid for certain uses, do not provide the same level of efficiency or clarity for playback in editing. Adjusting clip speed might affect the duration and tempo but won't create a loop effect. Duplicating the clip can lead to an unyieldy workspace and potential alignment issues. Exporting the section as a separate file, while useful for sharing or reusing content, completely removes it from the main project timeline, limiting your ability to edit
