Navigating in the Viewer and Canvas
Aside from using the transport controls, there are numerous ways to move around
within clips and sequences in Final Cut Pro. You can navigate more quickly using the
specialized jog and shuttle controls, moving through your media at slower or faster
speeds. You can also enter absolute or relative timecode values directly into timecode
fields to move the playhead within your clips and sequences. All of these methods work
with external video enabled, and external video output will be continuously updated.
