I Feel the Need—for Speed!
Eleven ways to make your Timeline play faster.
I was looking through the Button List menu a while back and discovered 11 keyboard shortcuts you may not know about that can make your Timeline play faster:
- Control+F2: Play in reverse at 5x speed
- Control+F3: Play in reverse at 4x speed
- Control+F4: Play in reverse at 3x speed
- Control+F5: Play in reverse at 2x speed
- Control+F6: Play in reverse at 1x speed
- Control+F7: Play forward at 1x speed
- Control+F8: Play forward at 2x speed
- Control+F9: Play forward at 3x speed
- Control+F10: Play forward at 4x speed
- Control+F11: Play forward at 5x speed
- Control+F12: Play forward at 6x speed
Some of these are similar to pressing J multiple times to go in reverse, or L multiple times to go forward.
