What is the shortcut key for jumping to the first frame in the timeline?

The shortcut key for jumping to the first frame in the timeline is the Home key. This key is commonly used in many video editing software applications, including AVID Media Composer, to quickly navigate to the beginning of the timeline or sequence. By pressing the Home key, users can immediately reposition the playhead to the start of their project, which is especially useful during the editing process to review content from the very beginning.

Other options, while functional for different purposes, do not serve to move the playhead specifically to the first frame. The End key, for example, would take the user to the last frame in the timeline, which is the opposite action. The Page Up key typically functions to move towards the previous edit point or mark, rather than resetting the position to the start. Finally, the combination of Ctrl + Home is often reserved for other functions such as selecting all clips or navigating specific sections and is not the standard method for jumping straight to the first frame. Understanding these shortcuts can significantly enhance workflow efficiency in video editing tasks.
