why is my cursor not scrolling through video footage?

I used to be able to move the cursor through the time line and the video playhead would play with it, I accidently hit a bunch of keyboard keys and now its not playing that way, I can only click at specific points in the time line to get the playhead to go there. Anyway to get this action going again?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), 2.3Ghz, i7, 16GB ram, 256GB flash

First: (Assuming you closed-out, re-booted, and re-started FCPX) make sure "skimming" is turned on.

If that doesn't do it, then...


Trash your preferences. (Harmless.) Easiest way to do that is to get this tried and true (and free) app:

It will also let you store your preferences for easy recall should you have to "trash" again.


Hope this helps!
