Is there a frame-by-frame button, for Premier Elements 2025?

I’m trying to adapt to Premier Elements 2025, after using prior versions (2021 as the latest) for years. Biggest single problem is, I simply cannot find convenient one-frame-forward or one-frame-back controls. In prior versions, there was a simple button, for each of those commands, which would then allow me to use a cut command at exactly the frame I wanted. In the 2025 version, all I can figure out is, keep expanding, and expanding, and expanding the timeline, until I can use my mouse to create what looks like only a single-frame jump at a time. If anyone can help me find a better way to get single-frame resolution, before I cut/trim a video segment, I would be very grateful.

    Make sure your Timeline pane is selected, then the left and right arrow keys will move you one frame at a time.

     

    Should work in both Quick and Advanced modes.

    Thanks. Don’t know why I didn’t see that before. BTW, for anyone else, the Timeline box, on the bottom, needs to be active, but the arrow buttons are not in that box; they’re in the Program Monitor Box

    In v2021 those options are only available in the EXPERT mode… does v2025 have that mode?

    Yes it does John.  However, it is called “Advanced” and is in the same place along with “Quick” and “Guided”.
