Playhead Controls

The playhead lets you navigate through and locate different parts of a sequence

quickly and easily.

Playhead and Scrubber Bar

The playhead shows the location of the currently displayed frame within the current

sequence. The scrubber bar runs along the entire width of the Canvas, below the video

image. To scrub through a sequence, drag the playhead across the scrubber bar. You

can also hold down the Command key to drag the playhead at a slower speed, so you

can more easily locate specific frames. You can click anywhere in the scrubber bar to

instantly move the playhead to that location.

The playhead’s movement in the scrubber bar is affected by whether “snapping” is

turned on. When snapping is on, the playhead “snaps,” or moves directly, to any

markers, In points, or Out points in the scrubber bar when it gets close to them. (To

turn snapping on or off, choose View > Snapping, or press the N key.)

To move the playhead to the beginning of your sequence:

m Press Home on your keyboard.

To move the playhead to the end of your sequence:

m Press End on your keyboard.

To move the playhead to the next edit point, do one of the following:

m Choose Mark > Next > Edit.

m Click the Go to Next Edit button.

m Press the Down Arrow key.

m Press Shift-E.

Final Cut Pro looks for the next edit, In point, or Out point. If overlays are enabled in the

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

In or Out point.
