Player shortcuts: J K L, frame stepping, and timecode

The whole keyboard: play, step, jump, mute, fullscreen, loop, and a timecode display that speaks editor.

The player is built to be driven from the keyboard, the way an editor drives an NLE. Here is the whole map.

Playback

• Space or K: play / pause
• Left / Right arrows: step one frame back / forward
• Shift + arrows: jump 5 seconds
• J: jump back 10 seconds
• L: jump forward 10 seconds

Frame stepping is real frame stepping: the player detects the clip's frame rate automatically, so a press is one frame at 23.976 as precisely as at 60.

Controls

• F: toggle fullscreen
• M: toggle mute
• Loop icon: toggle continuous playback, the fastest way to sit inside a short section while you study it

The timecode display

Click it to cycle through three formats: timecode (HH:MM:SS:FF), standard (M:SS), and frames (a raw frame count). Whichever you leave it on is how you will read positions while commenting and trimming.

The same player, with the same keys, is what your reviewers get on a review link, so a client who asks "how do I step through frames" can be sent the reviewer version of this page.
