Play video in the Source Monitor and Program Monitor
The Source Monitor and Program Monitor contain several controls that resemble the playback controls on a video deck. Use the Source Monitor
controls to play or cue a clip. Use the Program Monitor controls to play or view the active sequence.
Most playback controls have keyboard equivalents. When you want to use keyboard shortcuts to control playback, make sure that the monitor you
want is active. Click the video image in the monitor you want to activate.
In Premiere Pro CS6, the playback controls have been streamlined and made customizable with the use of the Button Editor. If the button you
wish to use is not available, click the “+” sign in the lower right of the monitor. After the Button Editor launches, you can drag the button of your
choice into the button bar. For more information see
Customizing the monitor panel button bar .
Note: When using keyboard shortcuts to move in a time ruler, make sure the panel you want is active. (Japanese-language keyboards only) To
use these keyboard shortcuts on a Japanese-language keyboard, make sure your keyboard is in direct input mode, rather than Japanese input
mode.
