Playing Clips and Sequences You use the transport controls in the Viewer and Canvas to play forward, backward, between In and Out points, one frame at a time, or loop playback. You can also move around within clips and sequences by jogging, shuttling, and scrubbing, and by entering timecode numbers. To play a clip in the Viewer or a sequence in the Canvas: 1 Open a clip in the Viewer or make the Canvas or Timeline active. 2 Do one of the following: Â Click the Play button. Â Press the Space bar. Â Press L. Â Choose Mark > Play > Forward. To stop playback, press the Space bar or click the Play button again. You can navigate backward at 1x (normal) speed, such as if you want to search for precise locations to set your In and Out points. To play media in reverse: 1 Open a clip in the Viewer or make the Canvas or Timeline active. 2 Do one of the following: Â Shift-click the Play button. Â Press Shift-Space bar. Â Press J. Â Choose Mark > Play > Play Reverse. Once you set In and Out points for a clip to define what part you want to use in your sequence, you may want to review the In and Out points. You can use the Play In to Out feature so that playback starts precisely at the In point and stops at the Out point, to make sure that the edit points are exact. This is useful if you're editing dialogue and you want to make sure you're cutting on the proper sound at each of your edit points. You may also want to use this feature if you're matching action and want to make sure you're starting and ending at the right frames. 102 Part II Learning About the Final Cut Express HD Interface

Part II

Learning About the Final Cut Express HD Interface

Playing Clips and Sequences

You use the transport controls in the Viewer and Canvas to play forward, backward,

between In and Out points, one frame at a time, or loop playback. You can also move

around within clips and sequences by jogging, shuttling, and scrubbing, and by

entering timecode numbers.

To play a clip in the Viewer or a sequence in the Canvas:

Open a clip in the Viewer or make the Canvas or Timeline active.

Do one of the following:

Click the Play button.

Press the Space bar.

Press L.

Choose Mark > Play > Forward.

To stop playback, press the Space bar or click the Play button again.

You can navigate backward at 1x (normal) speed, such as if you want to search for

precise locations to set your In and Out points.

To play media in reverse:

Open a clip in the Viewer or make the Canvas or Timeline active.

Do one of the following:

Shift-click the Play button.

Press Shift–Space bar.

Press J.

Choose Mark > Play > Play Reverse.

Once you set In and Out points for a clip to define what part you want to use in your

sequence, you may want to review the In and Out points. You can use the Play In to

Out feature so that playback starts precisely at the In point and stops at the Out point,

to make sure that the edit points are exact. This is useful if you’re editing dialogue and

you want to make sure you’re cutting on the proper sound at each of your edit points.

You may also want to use this feature if you’re matching action and want to make sure

you’re starting and ending at the right frames.
