Final Cut Pro looks for the previous edit, In point, or Out point. If overlays are turned on

in the View menu, an L-shaped icon appears in the Canvas, indicating whether you are

on an In or Out point.

To move the playhead to sequence markers

Do one of the following:

Control-click in the Current Timecode field in either the Timeline or the Canvas, then

choose a marker from the shortcut menu.

Press Shift–Down Arrow to move to the next marker to the right of the playhead.

Press Shift–Up Arrow to move to the next marker to the left of the playhead.

The playhead moves to that marker. If overlays are turned on in the View menu, the

marker is displayed in the Canvas. For more information on setting markers in the Timeline,

see “Using Markers.”

Jog Control in the Canvas

To move forward or backward in your sequence very precisely, use the jog control. The

jog control allows you to move the playhead in the Canvas 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. This control is useful for carefully locating a specific frame

(for instance, if you’re trimming an edit).

Shuttle Control in the Canvas

This control lets you quickly play through sequences at different speeds, in fast and slow

motion. It also shifts the pitch of audio as it plays at varying speeds. In slow motion, this

can make it easier to locate specific words and sounds for editing.

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. When the slider

is green, playback speed is normal (or 100 percent speed). The further away from the

center you move, the faster the playback speed. The keyboard equivalents of the shuttle

control are the J, K, and L keys. For more information, see “Shuttling Through a Clip or

Sequence.”
