Jog Control in the Viewer
To move forward or backward in your clip very precisely, use the jog control. The jog
control allows you to move the playhead as if you were actually moving it with your hand,
with a one-to-one correspondence between the motion of your mouse and the playhead’s
motion. This control is useful for carefully locating a specific frame (for instance, if you’re
trimming an edit). For more information, see
“Jogging Through a Clip or Sequence.”
To move the playhead backward, one frame at a time
µ
Press the Left Arrow key.
To move the playhead forward, one frame at a time
µ
Press the Right Arrow key.
To move the playhead one second at a time
µ
Hold down the Shift key and press the Left Arrow or Right Arrow key.
Shuttle Control in the Viewer
This control lets you quickly play through clips at different speeds, in fast and slow motion.
It also shifts the pitch of audio as it plays at varying speeds. In slow motion, this can make
it easier to locate specific words and sounds for editing.
Drag the slider to the right to fast-forward and to the left to rewind. Playback speed varies
depending on the distance of the slider from the center of the control. When the slider
is green, playback speed is normal (or 100 percent speed). The further away from the
center you move, the faster the playback speed. The keyboard equivalents of the shuttle
control are the J, K, and L keys. For more information, see
“Shuttling Through a Clip or
Sequence.”
