Video Playback: Video Scrubbing Keys

Use these keys to control video playback speed and direction:

• Play Forward Faster – Tap F9

• Play Backward Faster – Tap F7

• Stop Playback – Tap F8

• Play Forward Slowly – Hold F8, then hold F9

• Play Backward Slowly – Hold F8, then hold F7

• Move Forward One Frame – Hold F8, tap F9

• Move Backward One Frame – Hold F8, tap F7

If these shortcuts don't work, customize them to keys that work for you.

💡 Tip:
To move quickly, tap F9 (forward) or F7 (backward) multiple times.
When you’re near the spot you want, tap F8 to stop. Then hold F8 and use F7 or F9 (tap or hold) to adjust frame by frame.

Lock Event List While Editing

You might notice while you're watching your video back, the Events panel keeps moving. Let's learn how to lock the Events panel so you can type and watch the video at the same time. Follow these steps:

1. Select Settings (top-right)
2. Select General (second tab)
3. Select Lock Event While Editing (under Events)
4. Select Save

💡 Unselect “Select current event when video is paused” to prevent the video from jumping to the playhead event in the Timeline when paused.

Note: The lock works only while you’re actively editing the event. If focus shifts elsewhere, the list follows the playhead as usual.
