A separate jog control, to the left of the other transport controls, provides a way to jog more
slowly through long clips or a long timeline. Click and drag to the left and right to move through
a clip or the Timeline a frame at a time.
Transport controls appear above the jog bar. In the Source Viewer, these controls let you Jump
to the First Frame, Play Reverse, Stop, Play Forward, and Jump to the Last Frame. In the
Timeline Viewer, these controls move to the Previous Edit, Play Reverse, Stop, Play Forward,
and move to the Next Edit. A loop control governs the looping behavior during playback.
