Chapter 4 Using the Log and Transfer Window 83
Transport Controls in the Preview Area
The transport, navigation, and marking controls in the Preview area work in the same
way as the controls in the Viewer and Canvas. The same keyboard shortcuts, including
the J, K, and L keys for playback, also work. Looped playback can be turned on or off by
choosing View > Loop Playback (or by pressing Control-L).
You can press the Tab key to move through the fields in the Preview and Logging areas.
For more information about the controls in the Viewer, see the Final Cut Pro 6
User Manual, Volume I, Chapter 6, “Viewer Basics.”
Final Cut Pro treats all of the selected clips in the Browse area as a single continuous
entity when you are jogging, shuttling, using the J, K, and L keys, or clicking the
Previous Clip and Next Clip buttons. For example, when the playhead reaches the end
of a clip in the selection, the next selected clip is opened and playback continues.
However, if you enable looped playback (by choosing View > Loop Playback or by
pressing Control-L), playback is limited to the clip that appears in the Preview area.
The Previous Clip and Next Clip buttons navigate within the range of selected clips in
the Browse area. (However, if just one clip is selected, you can navigate through all of
the clips.)
To move from clip to clip within the selected clips in the Browse area, do one
of the following:
m Click the Previous Clip button (or press Command–Control–Left Arrow).
m Click the Next Clip button (or press Command–Control–Right Arrow).
To add the current clip to the Transfer Queue, do one of the following:
m Click the Add Clip to Queue button.
m Click in the image display area and drag the clip to the Transfer Queue.
m Press F2.
