Sorry for asking basics here but I just can not find how to scrub / jog through a video clip in PowerDirector 16 using a keyboard key or keys? In video editors such as Sony Vegas, Blender, Openshot, etc. it is as simple as using the j,k,l keys or the right and left arrow keys, to move forwards and backwards through a video track to find the frame to do a cut etc.; using the keyboards saves my tendons from carpel tunnel not having to be constantly pressing on a mouse button to move a timeline scrubber. Is this feature missing in PowerDirector? If so I think that would be a deal breaker for me.

Perfect! Looks like the command and period keys (<,> unshifted) scrub/job forward and back along the timeline, one frame at a time, just what I was looking for!
