What is the advantage of using the J-K-L keys during editing?

Using the J-K-L keys during editing offers the significant advantage of allowing the editor to shuttle forward or backward at varying speeds on the timeline. Specifically:

• The "J" key, when pressed, plays the footage in reverse. Tapping the "J" multiple times increases the playback speed in reverse, providing a fast and efficient way to quickly seek through scenes or find specific frames.

• The "L" key plays the footage forward, and similarly, tapping it multiple times enhances the forward playback speed. This functionality is crucial for quickly evaluating scenes, looking for specific shots, or navigating through large amounts of footage in a streamlined manner.

• The "K" key acts as a pause button, allowing for precise control when needing to stop the playback to identify specific edits or points of interest.

Together, these keys create an intuitive and speedy method for scrubbing through footage, which is essential for editors who need to review material efficiently during the editing process. Other options related to adjusting audio levels, enabling subtitles, or creating transitions do not utilize the J-K-L keys in the same beneficial manner for navigation and speed control on the timeline.
