minute scrubbing of timeline WHILE working in the Viewer
So, i do a great deal of text in my editing of musical artists – tabbing out what they are playing. So, I am always in the viewer adding Tablature, then clicking back to the timeline to see the next note (a few frames or such), then I have to click back to the Viewer to add more tablature, then back to the timeline, etc. So, i know there is a hotkey to choose between having the viewer or timeline active, but that doesn’t work for me.
Is there any way I can (maybe with a peripheral device like a jog wheel?) be typing in the viewer, but also then be able to move the timeline ahead as slow as I want to, without clicking in the window?
To clarify a bit more, if im in the viewer typing text, then hit the typical timeline moving keys, like space bar, or arrows, etc – those keys will effect what is in the viewer, not the timeline. So, i need a dedicated set of keys or something that will always effect the timeline, no matter what window is active.
My set up is that I use a trackball with my right hand, and keyboard with my left.
Thanks so much in advance for replies or any help I can get.

Hmm, this seems like something that might work with Speakable Items… voice commands?

when i have a text generator open in the viewer and hit space bar (or use JKL), the timeline plays
but are you adding a new text generator every few frames?ok, guess i don’t know what you meant by Tablature, or exactly how you are working.
is it another video clip you have in the viewer?i wonder if GANGING is the answer for you.
when you set the Playhead Sync Menu (middle pull-down menu top of Viewer or Canvas) set to Gang viewer and canvas follow each other.
it;s a stop/start thing if you PLAY, but stepping through frame-bt frame, they both move together.
of course going up to the menu to turn GANG on & off all the time would not be efficient.
i use custom key commands (option H to open the customise window)
Control + number pad = for SYNC
Control + number pad “Clear” for OFF“So, i know there is a hotkey to choose between having the viewer or timeline active, but that doesn’t work for me.”
in what way?
