Using the J, K, and L keys to shuttle video

You can quickly and accurately move through frames in a sequence using the J, K, and L keys. You can also use the keys to shuttle through icons.
The J key always moves the playhead in reverse and the L key always moves it forward. The K key is a modifier and stop playback key. Press J to
move backward at normal speed, press J and K to move backward slowly, or press K and tap the J key to move back a frame at a time. The K
and L keys work in the same way to move forward. For more information about using the J, K, and L keys for playback,

If you require more finely tuned control with the J, K, and L keys, particularly to hear audio better, do the following:

After shuttling forward with the K and L keys, press Shift+L to play forward slightly faster. Press Shift+L again to play faster.

After shuttling in reverse with the J and K keys, press Shift+J to play in reverse slightly faster. Press Shift+J again to play faster in reverse.

You can press Shift+L and Shift+J up to five times to fine-tune the speed of playback.

If you are playing back too quickly, press the opposite keyboard shortcut to slow playback. For example, if you were playing back too quickly
forward, press Shift+J to slow playback down by one increment.
