Working with Video in Soundtrack

Controlling Video Playback Using Keyboard Shortcuts

There are a number of keyboard shortcuts you can use to control playback of the video
in the Video tab. To use keyboard shortcuts, the pointer cannot be in a text field.

 Space bar: Plays the video from the current playhead position. This is equivalent to

clicking the Play button.

 Return: Sets the playhead to the beginning of the video. If the playback region is

active, pressing Return sets the playhead to the beginning of the playback region.
This is equivalent to clicking the Go to Beginning button in the transport controls.

 Command-Left arrow: Moves the video back (closer to the beginning) one frame. This

is equivalent to clicking the Previous Frame button.

 Command-Right arrow: Moves the video forward (closer to the end) one frame. This

is equivalent to clicking the Previous Frame button.
