How to start playing the video from the green cursor rather than from the beginning of the time-line? In Video Editor mode hitting Alt+A starts playback from the beginning of the timeline.
How to start playing the video from the green cursor?
(I found this question asked on reddit by nightmareFluffy, but it is too late to answer it there.
It's one of the most basic things for video editing and I could not find an answer to it anywhere so I'm posting this question here for others to find.)
My version is 2.79
From the Timeline editor's bottom menu select Playback and tick Follow.
Then Alt+A will play from the cursor.
