Alternative to arrow keys to move 1 frame left or right in timeline/viewer

Other than punching in different timecode values, are there any other keyboard or button shortcuts that will move the timeline or viewer playhead 1 frame backwards or forwards WITHOUT using the left/right arrow keys?

That's a handy tip Andy, though I don't know whether it's any quicker than the arrow keys as you have to position the cursor in the playhead track of the timeline.
On a Logitech mouse it was perfect but the wheel on my Mighty Mouse is much too sensitive and fiddly to make it a pleasurable experience.

Flash using arrow keys to move between frames in an animation

Hi,
Im currently creating a calculator on flash and I would like to be able to move to the next part of the calculator (the next frame) by using the arrow keys on my keyboard
This is my current code to move between the frames using a buttons.
stop();
var input1:String;
var input2:String;
var Res:Number;
var Quote:Number;
txtLen.restrict = "0-9"
txtWid.restrict = "0-9"
BtnCon2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fnCall)
function fnCall(Event:MouseEvent):void{
input1 = txtLen.text;
input2 = txtWid.text;
Res = parseInt(input1) * parseInt(input2);
Res.toString();
gotoAndPlay(21)
txtArea.text = String(Res);
BtnRes1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fnRes1)
function fnRes1(Event:MouseEvent):void{
gotoAndPlay(1);
Im trying to do the same thing that im doing with my buttons but with my arrow keys
Thanks

Another way to write what Ned said is instead of multiple if's, you could do something like:
switch(yourEvent.keyCode) {
     case Keyboard.RIGHT:
          fnCall(null);
          break;
     case Keyboard.LEFT:
          fnRes1(null);
          break;
     case Keyboard.UP:
          //do up stuff
          break;
     case Keyboard.DOWN:
          //do down stuff
          break;
     default:
          trace('I\'m confused by this key.');
          break;
Some people find this syntax more legible.

Using Arrow Keys to Move Pointer - Mouse Keys?

Hello, I am trying to use Universal Access on a new MacBook Pro.
Ideally, I would like to move the screen pointer by holding the function key (or some command type key) and the directional arrows - instead of using the mouse. Is there a way to map the keys to do this?
I tried to turn on Universal Access and turning on Mouse Keys, but there are no instructions in the Help section that tell you which keys move in what directions. Anyhow, after confirming that it was on, no keys would move the pointer or do any mouse functions.
Thank you!

Hello Saksiri-san,
Mouse Keys are controlled by the numeric keys which form a secondary keypad in the block: J->1, K->2, L->3, ;->-, U->4, I->5, O->6, P->*, 7->7, 8->8, 9->9, 0->/. M gives 0 and / gives +, all on an English-language keyboard of course. The movement is U or 4 to the left, O or 6 to the right and so on. The I or 5 key gives the mouse click.
Once Mouse Keys are on, you will normally need to use the fn key as well as those in the secondary numeric keypad to move the mouse. This can be avoided by setting the default option to "software functions" in the Keyboard tab of the Keyboard and Mouse pane of System Preferences.

Using the arrow keys to move objects in photoshop issue

When I move objects around in Photoshop using the arrow keys something odd to me happens. When I press the left arrow key it seems to move 2 pixels then when I press the right arrow key it seems like it moves 1 pixel. I noticed this when I had 3 objects. One was centered and I wanted to move both the other objects 20 pixels away. One looked twice as far away. I looked closer and I found out that was the problem. This also happens when using the up and down arrow keys. Is that supposed to happen and is there a way to fix it? Thanks

BOILERPLATE TEXT:
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, video card specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you.

Can't use arrow keys to move cursor around TextArea after upgrading to 1.4

Hi,
I saw that there have been similar posts, but none are exactly the same nor have they solved my problem...
I've got an older Java application that has been around for many years,
the only updates to it essentially being upgrading the version of the
JDK. So far, upgrading the JDK hasn't caused any issues. However, after upgrading to JDK 1.4, I can no longer use the arrow keys on the
keyboard to move the cursor within a TextArea. You can use the mouse to highlight and you can use the rest of the keys (i.e. type in text,
delete stuff, etc.) but somehow you just can't move the cursor around
by using the keyboard. Does anybody have any suggestions on what I
could do to solve this? Thanks in advance!

Didn't get any replies/comments, but in case anybody is interested, I took the easy way out and upated the TextArea to a JTextArea and the problem went away.

How do I get the arrow keys to move one character at a time in the address bar or search box?

I can no longer get the arrow keys to advance or retard "one character at a time" in the address bar, the search box, or on any form in Firefox. This feature works in other browsers without a problem. The "Home" and "End" keys do not work either. How do I fix this behavior?

How do I configure the AX to connect to the hub's wireless network? It will only scan one base station Airport Express at a time in the Airport Utility. I think what I am trying to do is use the hub as a router to the two AX's. Is there a specific way to set this up?
To set up the AX to join a wireless network as a "Wireless Client," using the AirPort Utility, either connect to the AX's wireless network or temporarily connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then, try these settings:
Launch the AirPort Utility.
Select the AX.
If not already connected to the AX's wireless network, go ahead and switch to it when prompted.
AirPort Utility > Select the AX > Manual Setup > AirPort > Wireless
Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
Network Name: <type in the network name/SSID of the wireless network that you want to join or select it from the pop-up menu>
Wireless Security: None OR, if you are using security on your wireless network:
Wireless Security: <Select the appropriate level of security for the existing wireless network: WPA/WPA2 Personal | WPA2 Personal>
Password: <enter your wireless network security password>
Verify Password: <re-enter the same security password>
Click Update to write the new settings to the AX.

How to toggle the CTI so it moves left to right on timeline rather than stay centered during playback?

I'm working with Premiere Elements 7, so it's a little older. In times past, the CTI simply moved left to right on the timeline during playback. I got used to this for years, and it does have its advantages.
However, I recently did a system restore and reinstall Elements 7 with an available patch offered via Adobe's website. Now the CTI stays centered in the middle during playback and the timeline moves from right to left.
Any way I can toggle this so I can use the original feature? I've searched all over the internet to found out how to do this and can't find an answer.

penguinrock
You are dealing with Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling Options - No Scroll versus Page Scroll versus Smooth Scroll.
I wrote all about them in
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12/12.1: Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling
But to cut to the core of the matter....there is sort of a conflict in what you wrote....
The default Timeline Playback Auto-Scroll option is Page Scroll for versions 12 through 9 and Smooth Scroll from
versions 8 to 4.
Smooth Scroll is the choice where the Timeline Indicator stops in the center of the visible timeline and then has the Work Area Bar and Timeline moving from right to left. You say you want the "original". If so, you have the original.
If you want Page Scroll or No Scroll, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General, try each of the 3 choices and decide which one you want.
I suspect it is the Page Scroll option that you are now seeking.
Please review and consider and then let us know the outcome.
Need clarification on anything written, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks.

Cannot use arrow keys to move an object in illustrator

Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Thanks!

Is the object locked? If it's locked, then you can't even select it.
If you can select it and it still won't move with arrows (I'm assuming it moves when you drag it), then perhaps the arrow "nudge" setting is so small it's not visible. Go to Edit > Preferences and look at "General" (the first page of settings. Make sure Keyboard Increment is set to something big enough to be useful.
If all else fails, you might try exiting Illustrator and rebooting.

Using arrow key to move down Event list bug

1. I have my event window in List mode.
2. I'm moving down the list with the DOWN ARROW button.
3. I have a clip selected and the clip name turns blue.
4. I take the cursor and skim the clip preview at the top. FCP X makes the name of the clip gray instead of blue.
5. I press the DOWN ARROW button again.
6. FCP X selects an arbitrary clip and not the next clip in the list.
So just open up an event with a lot of clips in LIST VIEW and sort anyway you want, select a clip, skim the clip preview at the top, the clip name in the list becomes gray, then press DOWN ARROW multiple times and see it jump between what seems like arbitrary clips.
I can't figure out the logic of how it's selecting the clips as I press DOWN ARROW.
So what I have to do is skim the preview, then mouse down to the grayed out name and click on it with the mouse, then press DOWN ARROW, etc.
So, basically, the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons are useless in LIST VIEW because I might as well just click on the next clip with the mouse.
Thanks for your time.

Tom Wolsky wrote:
Yes, the clip goes gray. The down arrow takes me to the next clip in the list.
Thanks, Tom.
OK, so what I'm seeing is it sometimes works fine, other times it acts as I've described.
I noticed that when I change the sort from DURATION to NAME, etc., it seems to trigger the behavior I'm describing. See if changing events and then selecting, skimming, then changing the sort by clicking on the column triggers it for you.
This behavior happens with the event window in the main window or on my second monitor.
Thank you for your time, Tom.

How can I move clips in my project more accurately? i.e. Less than one frame over left or right?

Hi there
I'm trying to sync some video to some audio. I have snapping turned off, yet I cant move a frame left or right any less than one frame.
Is it not possible to move a frame anyless than one frame left or right? It still SNAPS to one frame left or one frame right.

As Jon has told you, you CAN NOT adjust video in less than a 1 frame increment. And I honestly doubt that even if you could, that you'd see the difference in the audio synch. In the good old days of film editing, it was only possible to adjust the audio synch for 35mm within a 1/4 of a frame (as each frame has 4 perforations) and 16mm within a frame (as each frame has 1 perf).
The only way to avoid this problem (if it is a problem) is to genlock the cameras so the timing of each frame matches from camera to camera.

Left and right arrow keys don't move frame by frame in a multicam sequence

Since installing 8.2.0, the left and right arrow keys stop working in multicam sequences. I hear one frame of sound when pressing the left or right arrow, but no frame-by-frame. In the viewer or non-multicam sequences, they seem to behave normally.
Any ideas?
Computer--Mac Pro 2013, Yosemite 10.10.1, 32 GB, 6 core

What little there is in this topic: 9.0 iTunes played Football Podcast frame by frame both forward and backwards for detailed viewing. When they upgraded to 10.0 the keyboard freatured was changed and not replaced. the arrow keys now move you to the next video or the previous video. Command (open Appple) moves you ..like 3 to 4 frames ahead. This is stupid and I have to play my podcast videos in Realplayer to use their arrow keys. This is just one more level for playerts to scrfew up on when viewing themselves. THE Can someone actually ask Apple to put it back as a key board feature. It can not even be scripted, but I'm game to hear your advice.

CTI Doesn't Move with Arrow Keys PE12

I am running into a glitch in Premiere Elements 12. When I nudge the CTI (playhead) using the arrow keys it moves only 1 frame no matter how many times I press the over arrow. The audio continues to scrub and the time indicator continues to change for each frame, but the CTI itself is stuck and no longer represents the proper location.
Anyone solved this?
I am using a MacBook Pro running OS 10.8.5.

Thanks ATR for you reply, here I will try to explain my findings.
My hw. sw. setup
MACBook Pro, OS X 10.9.4, 16Gb, licensed Premiere Elements 12.1 upgraded from 12.0
Just to confirm....are you saying that if you do just a one tap on the right or left arrow key, the Timeline Indicator will move 1 frame.              YES (if slow repeat).
But, if you hold down and continue to hold down on the right of the right or left arrow key, the Timeline Indicator will not go into a continuing movement?     YES.
>> Today I have found that this problem only show up in ”Expert” edit mode and not in ”Quick” mode.
      1. Current Timeline Indicator (CTI) only move/jump one frame when I first start to hold right or left key pressed, after this first jump CTI will stop to move,
            my movie and time counter will move and count as expected.
      2. If I repeat pressing right or left key with a speed faster than one press per 3seconds the CTI will be stopped, slower repeat than every 3 second then CTI will move on every key press.
      3. Note1   when CTI not move during continue key press or fast repeat R/L (< 3sec) the accumulated new CLI position will show up as a long jump on next press after 3sec paus.
      4. Note2   I have also verifies with my Win7 friend with a new installed PE 12.1 running just fine without this CTI problem. (MAC version only??)
If so, several things that I would like you to do if you have not already....
1. Delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file which should be found
    Users\Libraries\Application Support\Adobe\Premiere Elements\12
>> After I delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file I did restart PE12 program and created a new project ( an new PE Prefs was automatic create in the same directory as expected)
      But unfortunately my problem is still there.
2. In the opened project, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/General and experiment with the Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling Options (No Scroll, Page Scroll, and Smooth Scroll).
ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12/12.1: Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling
>> Thanks, here I found lot of good reading but your suggestion to change the Timeline Playback Auto-Scrolling Options did change scrolling behavior,
       unfortunately my problem is still there.
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, so please double check the translation of the suggested locations from Windows to Mac.
How would describe your issue - "it worked before but not now" or "it never worked before".
>> My best answer must be; I have not seen this problem before but I´m trying to learn video editing so I could have missed the CTI behavior.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thank you.
Add On...Like the originator of this thread, are you working with a tryout of Premiere Elements 12/12.1?
No this is a licensed version 12.0 upgraded to 12.1
Summary:
My conclusion must be that this CTI behavior is a software bug (maybe only in MAC versionPE12 or in some combination).
How to fix my problem:
Will a reinstall likely fix the problem?
Or is´t a case for Adobe Support to handle?
I´m happy for any help here.
Regards.

Why can't I advance a video frame-by-frame with the arrow keys?

I am able to play a video, and to scrub through by clicking and dragging the play head, but when the video is paused, my arrow keys won't advance frame-by-frame. Is there a place that I have to enable the arrow key function? I've looked through the Preferences but didn't see anything. Anybody know how to get this to work? Thanks!!

Down one row using arrow keys

Is FrameMaker capable of navigating up/down one row by using the arrow keys? This seems such a basic functionality but I can't do it? I'm using v7.0 (the company is cheap and won't upgrade). Alternately, is there a third party keyboard utility to get around this limitation?

No need to use a plug-in or scripting language, or to use the existing shortcuts if you prefer something else. FrameMaker shortcuts and menus can be customized to your convenience.
For details, see the "Customizing Frame Products" manual. In 7.0, this PDF book is in the $FMHOME\OnlineDocuments where $FMHOME is your main FrameMaker directory, probably something like c:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker7.0.
While you can use a different file, one way to make your change is to create or edit $FMHOME\fminit\configui\customui.cfg. This is a plain text file that you can edit with Notepad or any other plain text editor (if you use FrameMaker make sure to save the file as text and put the filename in quotes in the Save As dialog box so that FrameMaker does not assign a .txt extension).
Suppose you want to use the up and down arrow keys to move up and down one cell. You probably do not want to disable the usual functionality assigned to those keys--moving up and down a line in text. You might therefore want to use Shift-Up Arrow and Shift-Down Arrow. In customui.cfg all you need is:
<Modify MoveIPToCellAbove
<KeySequence +/Up>
>
<Modify MoveIPToCellBelow
<KeySequence +/Down>
>
Here, + indicates use of the Shift key.

Alternative to arrow keys to move 1 frame left or right in timeline/viewer
