Chapter 8 Navigating and Using Timecode in the Viewer and Canvas 103

To move forward or backward using the jog control:

m Drag the jog control to the left or to the right.

The playhead moves with a one-to-one correspondence to the movement of your

mouse. Moving your mouse slowly moves the playhead slowly, even frame by frame.

Moving the mouse faster moves the playhead faster. If you stop dragging, the playhead

stops instantly.

You can also move the playhead one frame at a time or one second at a time, by using

the arrow keys on the keyboard.

To move forward one frame at a time:

m Press the Right Arrow key

To move back one frame at a time:

m Press the Left Arrow key.

To move forward one second at a time:

m Press Shift while you press the Right Arrow key.

To move backward one second at a time:

m Press Shift while you press the Left Arrow key.

Looping Playback

Normally, playback of a clip or sequence starts at the current playhead position and

stops at the end of the clip or sequence. If you enable looped playback, the clip or

sequence plays over and over again until you stop playback.

When looped playback is enabled:

Â Using Play In to Out loops playback only between your two edit points.

Â Playing in reverse loops playback from the end of your clip to the beginning.

Â In all other playback modes, playback always starts over from the beginning of the clip.

Note: When you loop playback, there is a split-second pause at the end of your clip or

sequence before the next loop starts. For this reason, enabling looped playback to loop

a sequence during output to tape from the Canvas might not give you the results you

want. For more information on outputting to tape, see Volume IV, Chapter 15, “Printing

To Video and Output From the Timeline.”

To move precisely

through a clip, drag

the jog control.
