Strada Playback Shortcuts Tutorial
Strada is designed to help creative professionals move fast. That’s why we’ve built in a number of shortcuts that make browsing and reviewing media faster and easier. Here’s how to take advantage of them:
1. Basic Play Controls
Automatic Play: If you’re already playing one file and click on another, the new file will start playing automatically.
Play/Pause Options:
• Press Spacebar
• Click anywhere on the video itself
• Press the K key
2. Switching Between Clips
Hold Command + Right Arrow to quickly jump to the next clip in a row without clicking.
3. Fast Playback Speeds
Press L once → 2x speed
Press L again → 4x speed
Press L again → 8x speed
Press L once more → Returns to normal speed
4. Frame-by-Frame Navigation
When paused, press the Right Arrow to advance one frame.
Press the Left Arrow to go back one frame.
5. Full-Screen Playback

All standard playback keys (Spacebar, K, L, arrows) work in full screen as well.
6. Multitasking While Playing
You can continue browsing your drives while playing back an asset in the player.
