Tools
: Each tool has a single-letter keyboard shortcut. To remind yourself of 
those shortcuts, open Keyboard Customization and choose the Tools menu 
under the Set menu.
You’ll use these frequently. At the very least, Selection (V), Ripple Edit (B), 
Rolling Edit (N), and Razor (C) should be ingrained in your brain. In case you 
need reinforcement, roll your pointer over each icon in the Tools panel to see 
a tool tip with the tool’s keyboard shortcut.
t
Backslash (\)
: This resizes the Timeline to display your entire project. It’s a great 
way to get a handle on where you are in the workflow.
t
J and L
: These are playback controls. J is reverse; L is forward. Press one of these 
keys two or three times to increase speed incrementally.
t
K
: This is a multifunction playback modifier key. Press K to stop playback. 
Hold down K while either pressing or holding down the J or L key to change 
playback speeds.
t
Hold down K while pressing J to play in reverse one frame at a time.
t
Hold down K while pressing L to play forward one frame at a time.
t
Press and hold down K+J to play in reverse slowly (8 fps).
t
Press and hold down K+L to play forward slowly (8 fps).

 Note:
Pressing 
the backslash key 
twice will return you 
to the previous zoom 
level. This is a great 
time-saver.
