To begin forward playback at normal (1x) speed:

m Press L.

To begin reverse playback at normal (1x) speed:

m Press J.

To pause playback:

m Press K.

To double the current playback speed:

m Press L or J again.

You can play back up to eight times normal speed, switching from 1x to 2x to 4x to 8x

normal speed (pressing either key a total of 4 times).

Pressing the key for playback in the opposite direction halves the playback speed,

slowing playback in that direction down until it reaches 1x playback. Playback then

begins doubling in reverse, starting from 1x.

To immediately reverse the playback direction:

m Press K to pause, then press the key for the direction you want.

To move the playhead one frame at a time:

m Hold down the K key, then press J or L.

To move the playhead at below 1/3x speed:

m Hold down the K key, then press and hold down J or L.

Note: When using keyboard shortcuts for device control, the speed of forward (L) and

reverse (J) may differ depending on your video equipment.

Jogging Through a Clip or Sequence

To move through a clip or sequence more precisely, you can use the jog control. The

jog control offers a one-to-one correspondence between the mouse and the playhead’s

movement, but also provides frame-by-frame accuracy that’s not dependent on the

duration of the clip or sequence. It’s a good tool to use to play through a section of

very slowly, looking for the right frame to cut on.
