fast forward jump forward

If you click the button the movie will fast forward 10 seconds
or jump forward 10 seconds

Can you correct this ?
Prior to version 2, a single click of either arrow served to skip forward or backward in 10-second intervals (10 seconds per click).

Thanks

I think you can use both. Your fast forward function appears to be incremental ( 10-second intervals) so "jump forward" and "skip forward" make sense to me. Prior to version 2, a single click of/on either arrow served to skip forward or backward in 10-second intervals.

  • I think you can use both.

  • Prior to version 2, a single click of/on either arrow served to skip forward or backward in 10-second intervals.
  • Some people might object to the logic of this sentence because it suggests that you can skip forward or backward using either arrow (whereas the intended meaning is probably that you skip forward using one arrow and backward using the other).
