Greetings, I have a couple questions. According to the keyboard help FN plus left or right arrow is the same as pressing the hime and end button. I tried this both in quicktime and iMovie to adjust the sliders and as far as I could tell nothing at all happened. I really want to find our how to adjust the start and end sliders in iMovie especially This will make my video editing a lot faster. I appreciate any help with this. Take care!
