It is easy to play video clips in the Source and Program Monitors for Adobe Premier Pro. They contain several controls that resemble the playback controls on a DVD or video deck. When editing your projects, use the Source Monitor controls to play or cue a clip and the Program Monitor to view the sequence you are editing. Additionally, each control has a keyboard shortcut you can use.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    To play video, make sure the monitor you want to use is active. Then, click the "Play" button, press “L” or the spacebar on your keyboard. To stop playing, click the "Stop" button, press “K” or the spacebar on your keyboard. To play video in reverse, press “J."

  2. Step 2

    You can play an entire clip or sequence repeatedly by clicking the "Loop" button and then clicking the "Play" button. Click "Loop" again to deselect it when you are done, or your clips will continue to loop.

  3. Step 3

    You can play in fast forward by pressing the “L” key repeatedly, and to play in reverse faster, press the “J” key repeatedly.

  4. Step 4

    To play in slow forward, hold down the “K” key while pressing the “L” key, or press Shift plus the “L” key repeatedly. To play in slow reverse, hold down the “K” key while pressing the “J” key, or press Shift plus the “J” key repeatedly.
