28 Video Playback & Navigation

To review the footage you’ve imported, use the navigation buttons beneath the Preview Window to control playback. Each button can also be controlled with a keyboard shortcut (see below). This can make it easier to review footage, as one hand can control playback while the other uses the mouse.
