quick navigate to end of imovie timeline

Here's another cool way to navigate the timeline. Use the j, k, and l keys. Tap the l key to move forward in the timeline. Tapping it repeatedly will increase the speed of the scroll with each tap. Tap the k key to stop. Top the j key to scroll backwards in the time line. Again, successive taps will speed up the scroll and pressing the k key will stop it.

This method works well when you want to speed back and forth through the timeline to get to places other than the beginning and end points. Also, it helps when looking for a particular frame or a clip in a longer timeline, or just to check your edits by scrolling through at medium speed.

You can also shrink or expand the timeline in a couple more ways.

With the timeline selected, press the ⌘ and + or - (minus) keys and for each press the timeline will double or halve its current length.

You can also move this slider to expand or shrink the timeline.

You should have 2 options.

To jump to the end or back to the beginning use the fn key and the right or left arrows.

Alternatively by holding down the ⇧ and Z keys you can shrink (or expand) the project to just fill the visible timeline.

Like the universe, knowledge is an ever expanding thing. 😀 I didn't know about the fn left and right arrows feature that I learned from Ian's post.
