how can you "scrub" the cursor faster in VP16? (Resolved)

In long clips, it would be useful to move the cursor faster or increase playback speed. Am I missing something simple? I realize you can change it in the properties, but that involves leaving a permanent speed, until changed again. A normal scrubbing tool would allow for faster or slower scrubbing times, by some other simple alteration. Pushing "ctl" requires starting "outside" of any clips....and losing place (without creating markers etc).
I guess I'm saying it would be nice if pushing ctl, where the curser presently is, to allow faster scrubbing.

Have you tried J K L? Or Dragging the cursor? If you drag from the head of the cursor, you can hear your audio.

yes....J or L...or dragging the cursor head itself, tops out at a speed much slower than I'd like much of the time. It'd be nice to be able to "latch on" to the head of the cursor for instance...and while dragging.... ALSO dragging up or down increases the speed as well. Something of that nature. Or better yet, hitting ctl...and drag as fast as you want to drag it.

You can hover over the cursor, leftclick and use the mouse to scrub as fast as you want. I believe you can also change the scrub speeds using the internal settings.

notice how quickly you can drag a media clip. Seems that would be nice to be able to do with the curser as well... ??

Ah...I see cking the box in the general tab, allows me to ctl scrub just perfectly. Dragging over the blue bar elimates the audio and allows for smooth dragging...as fast or slow as you want. (with the audio, with my i7, 3.5ghz proccessor and intel HD card, it's choppy).

Infact...don't seem to even need to hit "ctl"... just grab the curser in the blue bar or lower...then you're good to go it seems. Grabbing the head of the cursor allows the audio, but at a slower rate.....which is sometimes just fine.
