So there is no button for this? That's odd.

This is fantastic. Why this isn't more discoverable in the UI is beyond me.

<p>I don't think this is possible. <strong>Edit:</strong> Turns out I was wrong. As Green mentions, <kbd>CTRL</kbd>+<kbd>Spacebar</kbd> will do exactly what you asked for. I'll leave the rest of my answer as alternatives to that.</p>

<p>Another option is the <strong>Play Around</strong> Shortcut, <kbd>Shift</kbd>+<kbd>K</kbd>, which will start playback a couple of seconds before your current timemarker position and stop a couple of seconds behind it. You can customize the <strong>Preroll</strong> and <strong>Postroll seconds</strong> under <strong>Preferences</strong> → <strong>Playback</strong>.</p>

<p>In Adobe Premiere there are shortcut keys to play a clip right from the <strong>In mark to Out mark</strong>. Shortcut on a PC  is <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Space</kbd>. </p>

<p><strong>However, how can I play a clip only till my Out mark?</strong> Not my full selection from In to Out, but from an arbitrary point of a selection only to my Out mark? It should stop playing on my Out mark.</p>

# How to play a clip only till an Out mark in Adobe Premiere?

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-05-09)

In Adobe Premiere there are shortcut keys to play a clip right from the **In mark to Out mark**. Shortcut on a PC is `Ctrl` + `Shift` + `Space`.

**However, how can I play a clip only till my Out mark?** Not my full selection from In to Out, but from an arbitrary point of a selection only to my Out mark? It should stop playing on my Out mark.

**Tags:** premiere

Another option is the **Play Around** Shortcut, `Shift`+`K`, which will start playback a couple of seconds before your current timemarker position and stop a couple of seconds behind it. You can customize the **Preroll** and **Postroll seconds** under **Preferences** → **Playback**.
