Transport controls in Log and Transfer for AVCHD
Are there transport controls in log and transfer for AVCHD compressed clips? It doesn’t appear in my window, but I can’t find anything online which says it should. Am I missing something here? I want to use the J-K-L controls and the scrub and jog tools but those controls don’t work and those tools aren’t there.
thanks in advance….

You’re missing something. Is your window divided in half, clip list on the left, viewer, controls, and logging info on the right? If not, trash your preferences.

I had my terminology wrong. I have the transport controls, but I am missing the jogger and scrubber. I have everything else that should be here but that. And, as I said, the J-K-L controls don’t work.
How do I trash my preferences for this?

What are you playing back from? Is the media on a hard drive or on a card? K and L work. Not J. Playback can be very sluggish if you’re playing off a card. There is no jog wheel or shuttle, but you can scrub the playhead, sort of.
This isn’t normal, intraframe compressed media. Most of the frames aren’t complete information. I-frames are complete, and subsequent frames read off it so playing forward is relatively simple. Playing backwards though is a problem. The first frame you encounter when you play backwards is probably not an I-frame so playback would have to skip backwards to find that I-frame before it could play the frame you want to see. That would be kind of a mess.
All the best,
