The
yellow line marks the area to be rendered or to be exported. It can also
be
useful if you want to repeatedly play a short section for checking - just
keep
hitting the "enter" key after setting the line over the area of
interest...
Also,
if you want to move rapidly around the timeline, or jump to a particular
point,
move the green area of the "Navigator" window (it includes the area
under
the yellow bar), or click on a position on the timeline in the Navigator
to
instantly jump to a particular location. The Navigator makes it VERY
easy to
"navigate" the timeline, and also to check what is on various tracks
(and to
find "orphan" bits that can cause problems).
