How to go forward 1 second in Final Cut Pro X??

No need to make a feature request - it's all there already.

Press Shift + Cmd 'A' to make sure nothing is selected (otherwise you'll move that, rather than the playhead).

Press the + key, then 1. (figure one and the full-stop or period key) and the playhead will go forward one second. If you skip the period, the playhead will go just one frame.

The minus key works the other way, and you can specify however many frames either way you want just by pressing + or - and the number of frames.

Hi,

In previous versions it was "shift" + "right arrow", but now that has inexplicably and uselessly become "Go forward 10 frames" and I can't find the option to change the amount of frames or simply make it the useful "Go forward 1 second".

AFAIK, it's been that way since 10.0.

Yes - sorry about that Russ. I re-read the original post and realised my mistake but when I tried to edit the post it wouldn't save for some reason.

(What HAVE they done to this forum? Someone needs to do a feature request to get the old one back - the search wasn't great on that one, but it's pretty terrible on this new one).

This morning it wouldn't let me post because it recognized me as a banned poster.

I signed out and switched browsers. Kind of funny…if one has time to waste.

Thanks, Andy.

Yup. But the OP wanted a solution that didn't require entering any values. So…hence the the feature request suggestion.

I haven't had that one yet - this morning it just told me I'd "probably logged out"!

Get that every few days: The user "asfahan" or some such is not allowed to post.

Yes. Same case of "mistaken identity". Be interesting to know what his/her transgressions were that got Jive so riled up.😁
