Jumping around the timeline

Someone asked this over email

It is possible to jump around the timeline by pressing a button or a key on a keyboard instead of dragging the transport?

Thanks

Hello,

Sure it is. You can use Markers together with Go To Marker nodes as shown below.


The layout above cycles through the selected 3 markers whenever I press key ‘k’.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Moving the playhead by clicking on the timeline below has been implemented in 3.3.1.

With the introduction of QuickUI and Custom Events, jumping around the timeline can also be done by creating a custom event and exposing it in UI.

Then you could create a layout like this:


And in the QuickUI window you see that there is a button corresponding to your event.
