\u00a0Space Bar<\/strong>: start\/stop playback<\/td>\n\u00a0J<\/strong>: plays backward<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\u00a0K<\/strong>: stops playback<\/td>\n\u00a0L<\/strong>: plays forward<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

You can fast-forward through the Premiere Pro<\/strong> timeline<\/strong> by repeatedly hitting L<\/strong>.\u00a0 Similarly, quick reverse by\u00a0repeatedly\u00a0tapping J<\/strong>.\u00a0 The speed of playback in either direction is dependent on the number of times you tap the key \u2013 more taps equals faster playback.<\/p>\n
