Using the J, K, and L keys to shuttle video

You can quickly and accurately move through frames in a sequence using the J, K, and L keys. In Premiere Pro CS6, you can also use the keys to
shuttle through icons. The J key always moves the playhead in reverse and the L key always moves it forward. The K key is a modifier and stop
playback key. Press J to move backward at normal speed, press J and K to move backward slowly, or press K and tap the J key to move back a
frame at a time. The K and L keys work in the same way to move forward. For more information about using the J, K, and L keys for playback,

If you require more finely tuned control with the J, K, and L keys, particularly to hear audio better, do the following:

After shuttling forward with the K and L keys, press Shift+L to play forward slightly faster. Press Shift+L again to play faster.

After shuttling in reverse with the J and K keys, press Shift+J to play in reverse slightly faster. Press Shift+J again to play faster in reverse.

You can press Shift+L and Shift+J up to five times to fine-tune the speed of playback.

If you are playing back too quickly, press the opposite keyboard shortcut to slow playback. For example, if you were playing back too quickly
forward, press Shift+J to slow playback down by one increment.

Match a frame with its source

While editing in a Timeline panel, you can find the source frame for any frame in a sequence clip and display it in the Source Monitor. Also, you
can find the source frame for any frame in a nested sequence, display it in the Source Monitor, and jump to its location in the source sequence.

1. Click the header of the track where the sequence clip is located, to target the track.

If more than one track is targeted, Premiere Pro will match the frame in the highest targeted track.

2. In a Timeline panel, position the playhead over the desired frame in a clip.

Note: If the source clip for the frame in the sequence clip is already open in the Source Monitor or listed in the Source menu, the Source
Monitor will display the last frame you viewed in the clip. To match the frame, close the clip in the Source Monitor before typing the Match
Frame or Reveal Nested Sequence keyboard shortcut.

3. Do one of the following:

In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 and earlier, press the M key.

In Premiere Pro CS6, press the F key.

Choose Sequence > Match Frame.

For a clip in a nested sequence, type the keyboard shortcut for Reveal Nested Sequence, Ctrl-Shift-T (Windows), or Shift-T (Mac OS) by
default.
