Question
By default, the Cut Page keeps the playhead stationary and the timeline moving. In the "Edit Page" and "Fairlight Page", the playhead moves without moving the timeline. Is there a way to make it work as well?
Answer
By default, "Cut Page" moves the playhead as a standard "fixed playhead".
In other "edit pages" and "fairlight pages", the playhead moves as a "free playhead (page scroll)".
You can change the operation in the "Cut Page" and "Fairlight Page" settings. "Edit Page" cannot be changed from "Free Playhead".
Timeline scroll settings available for each page
- Cut Page:
Fixed Playhead (default) / Free Playhead - Edit page:
Free playhead (unchangeable) - Fairlight page:
fixed playhead / page scroll (≒ free playhead ) (default) / no scroll

The playhead moves without moving the timeline. When it reaches the right edge, the timeline moves and the playhead returns to the middle. - Free Playhead:
The playhead moves without moving the timeline. When it reaches the right edge, the timeline moves and the playhead returns to the left edge - No Scrolling:
