Jog Control

To move forward or backward in your clip very precisely, use the jog control. The jog
control allows you to move the playhead as if you were actually moving it with your
hand, with a one-to-one correspondence between the motion of your mouse and the
playhead’s motion. This control is useful for carefully locating a specific frame (for
instance, if you’re trimming an edit). For more information, see “

Jogging Through a Clip

or Sequence
