Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 258)

Tip: You can drag timecode values to the Log and Capture timecode fields from other
timecode fields in Final Cut Pro, such as Browser columns. Hold down the Option key
while you drag a timecode value from a column in the Browser to either the Timecode
Duration or the Current Timecode field.
Transport Controls in the Log and Capture Window
If you have device control, use the transport controls to control your camcorder or deck.
These controls are similar to controls in the Viewer and Canvas, except that they control
playback of a videotape instead of a media file. For more information, see
“Navigating in
the Viewer and Canvas.”

Jog and Shuttle Controls in the Log and Capture Window
Jog and shuttle controls, similar to those in the Viewer and Canvas, are also available for
navigating through the tape. For more information, see
“Navigating in the Viewer and
Canvas.”
Shuttle control Jog control
In the Log and Capture window, you can use the J, K, and L keys for jogging and shuttling,
just as you can in the Viewer and Canvas. For more information about using the J, K, and
L keys to navigate through your clip, see
“Shuttling Through a Clip or Sequence” and
“Jogging Through a Clip or Sequence.”
Note: Tape playback is not as efficient as playback from media files on your hard disk. It
takes a few seconds for a tape to cue to the proper frames or change playback direction.
