  • Can the Shutle Control be ‘sticky’?

    Current setup: shuttle knob on Canvas or Viewer needs to be held to advance video. When I let go, playback stops.

    Desired setup: I drag and let go of the shuttle knob and video continues to play at last-set speed. I can mark in and out as needed.

    Any ideas? Manual isn’t offering any results.

    Try using J K L on your keyboard. You will edit much faster when you keep your hand off your mouse.

    Oh I agree JKL is the bomb. But I’m working on some tricky vis and want to play it at half or even quarter speed and drop I and O points. It’s a unique gig, not something I do every day.

    Is there a JLK type keyboard shortcut for slowmo that allows for me to press I and O on the fly?

    That is why FCP is so flexible. There are at least three ways of working in FCP. Hold down KL or KJ to slow down. Arrow keys will move you one frame at a time.

    Everything is in the manual! When you have some free time, take a look at it.
