keyboard shortcut for GOTO Mark IN / OUT

This has got to be easy, but I just can't seem to find it in the keyboard shortcuts or the manual or HELP.

I set an IN and OUT on the timeline. I just want to move the current time indicator to the OUT point of the loop. I tried setting keyboard shortcuts for CursorTo.LoopEnd, but it just seems like it has a mind of it's own (meaning the cti goes to a place on the timeline, it's definitely not the OUT marker point.

What's the keyboard shortcut to, or how can you make the CTI snap to the OUT mark (and IN mark) on the timeline ?

If I understand and have interpreted your request correctly then, firstly ensure you have the Time Selection Preferences set for doing this:

Options | Preferences | Editing | Uncheck: "Collapse loop region when no time selection is present"

Then:

For going to the OUT of a Loop Selection: Ctrl+Right Arrow

For going to the IN of a Loop Selection: Ctrl+Left Arrow

Grazie

Try this. Do as Grazie says but you can also use the "home" or "end" buttons to immediately go to the In our Out points. Very quick and intuitive.

Completely forgot/blanked that one.

Guess I'm so used to NOT working up the keyboard also Ctrl+Right/Left for me reflects the action of going Left<>Right on the timeline. My Home<>End are Above AND Below which for me is counter-intuitive. Maybe that's why I had forgotten/blanked it?

Grazie and Erik - thanks - Maybe I missed something, but neither did what I was wanting to do - I may not be saying it right. I want the CRT to jump to the current IN or OUT points of the active loop using a keyboard shortcut.

I have B roll events on the timeline past my "main event area" - so basically I have a 5 minute project at the beginning of the timeline - then a bunch of different B roll clips afterwards - and I am attempting to choose appropriate B roll for various areas in the main event area". So I am jumping back and forth between that main event area and the area where I have B roll - and I want to look at some b-roll, and then immediately jump to the start of the main event area to get a feel for where that B-roll should go

So I thought setting INs and OUTs on the main event section (the final video) and then using a hot key to jump to it from the B-roll was the fastest way of getting a feel for the fit - at least initally - I wanted it to be quick and I know styles are all over the place - but right now, that is the work flow I am looking at on this project.

I know I must not be saying this right because jumping to IN and OUT mark on a timeline - from anywhere in the timeline - I would think would be a task that many used,
