Use the playback controls above the Timeline to Play/Pause, Fast Forward and Rewind. Each click of Fast Forward or Rewind will playback more quickly, similar to a DVD player. (ie 2x, 4, 8x, 16x etc) You can also click and drag the yellow slider bar left or right to quickly “scrub” through video.
You can zoom into the timeline to show better detail using the small green zoom in/zoom out buttons on the far left and right. You can see the timeline scale has changed to 1 minute increments (10:19, 10:20, 10:21, etc)
