You can use the buttons in the upper-right corner of the timeline to lock the playhead (so the playhead moves over the filmstrip, instead of the filmstrip moving under the playhead); enable or disable frame snapping and edge snapping; determine whether the playback plays once, loops, or bounces (plays backward and forward in a loop); mute playback; and set options.
