Speeding up options

Hello

as I edit basketball full games, at times I just need to fast-forward until something good happens, I know the option of ctrl+right arrow or even shift+arrow. my questions is can I detect the pace of FF by using ctrl+right arrow? even then I feel its a bit slow and I want to save time while I wait for the plays I have to edit. hope u get me and that there's a solution

thx

I think you're asking about the speed when playing the video on the timeline. There are other controls for this. On the hamburger menu top left, choose "Visible jog/shuttle". The jog wheel and shuttle slider will appear under the monitor. If you put the mouse on the jog wheel, you can use the mouse wheel to scroll through the video. You can also click and drag it (mostly to the right because you run off the screen to the left).

The shuttle slider can play the movie at any speed you like, just drag it.

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.
