94 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Pro Interface

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

m Choose Mark > Previous > Edit.

m Click the Go to Previous Edit button.

m Press the Up Arrow key.

m Press Option-E.

Final Cut Pro looks for the previous 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.

To move the playhead to sequence markers, do one of the following:

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

choose a marker from the shortcut menu that appears.

m Press Shift-Up Arrow to move to the next marker to the right of the playhead.

m Press Shift-Down Arrow to move to the next marker to the left of the playhead.

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

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

Timeline, see Volume II, Chapter 4, “Using Markers.”

Jog Control

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

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” on page 101.
