Useful lesser-known play commands in FCP X

- In this movie, we'll take a look at some useful and perhaps lesser-known Play and Navigation commands in Final Cut Pro X. Now, again, just as in the previous movie, I'll very quickly cover some of the more obvious Play commands, so that we can build a foundation for going forward with some of the lesser-known ones. Again, we've got spacebar to play and stop. We've got home, or function, left arrow to go to the beginning. And end or function, right arrow, to go to the end. And then, our very important three-button play, where j goes backwards in real time, and k pauses, and l goes forwards in real time. And also, same thing, the more you press either j or l, the faster you go. So press it twice, you go double, triple, and so on. And backwards, same deal. Now, unlike in Premier Pro, when you're traveling in fast motion, I'll press l several times, and then I press j, I'm automatically going to switch directions, OK? So, in Premier Pro, that just slowed me down in the same direction…
