Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 356)

The transport, navigation, and marking controls in the Preview area work in the same
way as the controls in the Viewer and Canvas. The same keyboard shortcuts, including
the J, K, and L keys for playback, also work. Looped playback can be turned on or off by
choosing View > Loop Playback (or by pressing Control-L).
You can press the Tab key to move through the fields in the Preview and Logging areas.
For more information about the controls in the Viewer, see
“Viewer Basics.”
Final Cut Pro treats all the selected clips in the Browse area as a single continuous entity
when you are jogging; shuttling; using the J, K, and L keys; or clicking the Previous Clip
and Next Clip buttons. For example, when the playhead reaches the end of a clip in the
selection, the next selected clip is opened and playback continues. However, if you enable
looped playback (by choosing View > Loop Playback or by pressing Control-L), playback
is limited to the clip that appears in the Preview area.
The Previous Clip and Next Clip buttons navigate within the range of selected clips in the
Browse area. (However, if just one clip is selected, you can navigate through all the clips.)
To move from clip to clip within the selected clips in the Browse area
Do one of the following:
µ
Click the Previous Clip button (or press Command–Control–Left Arrow).
µ
Click the Next Clip button (or press Command–Control–Right Arrow).
