Adobe Premiere Elements 8 guide

To position the current-time indicator:

In either the Preview window or the Timeline, do any of the

following.

 Drag the current-time indicator (Figure 4).

 Click the time ruler where you want to position the

current-time indicator.

 Press Shift while dragging the current-time

indicator to snap it to the edge of the closest clip or

marker (Timeline only).

 Drag the time display to the desired time value

(Figure 5).

 Click the time display, type a valid time, and then

press Enter. (You don’t need to type leading zeros,

colons, or semicolons. However, be aware that

Adobe Premiere Elements interprets numbers less

than 100 as frames.)

 In the mini-timeline in the Monitor panel, use any

playback control. (The mini-timeline is visible in

the Monitor panel when you use the Sceneline.)

Note: You can use the Home or End keys on the keyboard to

skip back to the beginning or ahead to the end of the movie.

The Page Up and Page Down keys go to the previous and

next clips. The Right Arrow and Left Arrow keys move the

current-time indicator forward or back a frame, and pressing

Shift+Right Arrow or Shift+Left Arrow moves the indicator

in increments of five frames.
