 Scrubber bar: The scrubber bar runs along the entire width of each of the two viewer
areas in the Trim Edit window, below the video image. To scrub, or move, through a
clip or sequence, drag the playhead across the scrubber bar. You can also click
anywhere in the scrubber bar to instantly move the playhead to that location.
 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. For more information, see “
Viewer Basics ” on
page 79. You can also refer to “ Canvas Basics ” on page 91.
 Shuttle control: This control lets you quickly play through clips and sequences at
different speeds, in fast and slow motion. 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. For more information, see “
Viewer Basics ” on
page 79. You can also refer to “ Canvas Basics ” on page 91.
