Scrubbing one video frame at a time in DP - how?

Post by MartinBaird »

When using Digital Performer (ver 7 in this case) to score to video, how is it possible to scrub forward or backward one frame at a time? Ideally, I'd like to be able to press one key to go forward one frame of video, and a different key to go backward one frame. One press of the key on the Mac keyboard needs to exactly equal one frame of video movement.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!
Martin

When the video window is the active window, the left and right arrow keys work.
