I'm trying to make the jump from pinnacle studio over to movie studio 2024 . I am use to having a frame by frame option in the preview screen . i can not seem to find a option for doing this in MS. i have looked at tutorial video's ,looked through the manual and looked though forums . i am new to MS and the layout is different .included is a screen shot of pinnacle for reference .

Hi

There are 2 ways in Movie Studio:

  1. keyboard shortcuts left/right arrow keys
     
  2. the Jog/shuttle control, you may need to turn this on - see image below

A third method, I use, is an external device - a Contour ShuttleXpress - the jog dial is IMHO very efficient and faster and more ergonomic and can be programmed to suit your needs.

To expand on John's comment, here's the jog/shuttle control:

I agree the jog dial could be much better; you have to be right on it to make it work.

All my forum comments are based on or refer to my System 1.

My struggle is over! I built my (now) system 2 in 2011 when DV was king and MPEG 2 was just coming onto the scene and I needed a more powerful system to cope. Since then we've advanced to MP4 and to bigger and bigger resolutions. I was really suffering, not so much in editing (with proxies) but in encoding, which just took ages. A video, with Neat Video noise reduction applied, would encode at 12% of film speed. My new system 1 does the same job at 160% of film speed. Marvellous. I'm keeping my old system as a capture station for analogue video tapes and DV.
