This is the habit that makes editing twice as fast, moving around the timeline with the keyboard, from zooming to fast-forwarding with JKL, let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe Premiere Pro series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. Fast editors rarely drag the scroll bar. They use keyboard shortcuts for zooming, jumping to the cut points, and scrubbing footage forward and backward. In this episode, we'll practice all these timeline navigation shortcuts. The exercise project contains a montage of 5 clips.
Click the timeline to activate the panel. Press the equals sign to zoom in, the clip expands so that details are visible. Press minus to zoom out. Press backslash to display the entire sequence perfectly on the screen.
Below the timeline is the zoom bar. Drag the end of the bar to zoom, drag the middle part to scroll. Click on the ruler, which is the row of timecodes above the track, to move the playhead. Hold and drag on the ruler to scrub. The image in the program monitor changes accordingly.
Press the down arrow, the playhead jumps to the next clip's start. Press again for the next cut point, and the up arrow to return to the previous cut point. The home button moves the play, head to the start of the sequence, and end to the end of the sequence.
Press L to scrub forward. Press L twice for twice the speed. Press KA to stop. Press J to scrub backward. The combination of J, KA, and L in the left hand allows you to quickly review long footage.
For precision, press the right arrow to move forward one frame and the left arrow to move backward one frame. Hold SHIFT while pressing the arrow keys to jump 5 frames. Notice the frame numbers on the far right of the timecode changing one by one.
Another precise way is to type the time code. Click the blue time code number at the top left of the timeline, type 21200, then Enter. The playhead jumps directly to 21 seconds. Typing plus or minus followed by a number moves the playhead relative to its position.
Done. We've already practiced zooming with the same method, minus, and backslash, zoom bar and scrubbing in the ruler. Jump to cut points with up and down arrows, Home and End, fast forward J, K, L, step per frame, and typing time code. In the next episode, we'll set up preferences and keyboard shortcuts.
