Transport Controls
If you have device control, use these 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

” on page 97.

Jog and Shuttle Controls
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

” on page 97.

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

” on page 101 and “

Jogging Through a Clip or Sequence

” on page 102.

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.
