Chapter 1 Working with HDV 21
Shuttle Control
A shuttle control similar to the one in the Viewer and Canvas is also available for
navigating through the tape.
In the Log and Capture window, you can use the J, K, and L keys for playback and
shuttling, just as you can in the Viewer and Canvas. For more information about using
the J, K, and L keys for playback, see the Final Cut Pro 6 User Manual, Volume I,
Chapter 6, “Viewer Basics.”
Note: Tape playback is not as efficient as playback from media files on your hard
disk. It takes a few seconds for a tape to cue to the proper frame or change playback
direction. The video frames and timecode displayed on the camcorder LCD screen may
differ from the frames you see in the video preview area. This is because Final Cut Pro
is decoding the MPEG-2 HDV in real time.
