Event and Frame Controls

The event and frame controls let you navigate the active timeline in forward or
reverse direction (see Figure 129). The

Previous Frame

and

Next Frame

buttons display the last or next frame. The

Previous Event

and

Next Event

buttons move the current position to the next user mark, mark-in, or mark-out
points.

Shuttle Controls

The shuttle rate slider sets the play speed in the range –16 to +16. The play
speed increases as you move the slider to the right and decreases you as you
move the slider to the left. You can also adjust the play speed with the shuttle
rate input box. Simply type in the rate in the range –16 to +16 and press Enter.
The selected clip begins playing automatically whenever you adjust the shuttle
rate.
