    Final Cut Pro – A Faster Way to Preview an Edit


    This keyboard shortcut makes it easy to preview an edit point.

    Preview an Edit Point

    Here’s a fast way to preview an edit point:

    Press the backslash key — it’s right above the Return key.

    Watch how the playhead backs up a few seconds, plays through the current location of the playhead, stops a few seconds afterward, then repositions the playhead back to its original position.

    Very cool.

    Extra credit: You can change the amount of time it backs up, or plays through by changing the settings in the Final Cut Pro > User Preferences > Editing tab.
