Video and audio playback
There are two ways to playback the media associated with the current DOTE project.
- Use the video transport buttons above the main timeline.
- Use the shortcuts, see below. Note: over over the buttons and you will see the relevant shortcut.
- To play and pause the video, press CTRL+SPACE [⌘+N on macOS].
- To play the video and return on pause to the current position of the playhead in the timeline.
- CTRL+SHIFT+SPACE [⌘+⇧+N on macOS]
- To jump back, press CTRL+J [⌘+J] and to jump forwards press CTRL+K.
Add the SHIFT or ⇧ key to jump by a bigger interval.
- CTRL+J/⌘+J = 1 second back
- CTRL+SHIFT+J/⌘+⇧+J = 4 seconds back
- CTRL+K/⌘+K = 1 second forward
- CTRL+SHIFT+K/⌘+⇧+K = 4 seconds forward
- To step forward or backwards by one frame (may skip a frame)
- CTRL+ALT+J or [⌘+⌥+J] = one frame back
- CTRL+ALT+K or [⌘+⌥+K] = one frame forward
See the guide to using the Timeline for help on looping.
The speed of the playback cannot be changed in the current release. A later release will add functionality to modify the playback speed using the UI and shortcuts.
A complete list of commands and shortcuts is available. Some shortcuts can be reassigned in the Settings to other key combinations.
