We discuss the front propagation in ferroelectric chiral smectics (SmC*)subjected to electric and magnetic fields applied parallel to smectic layers.The reversal of the electric field induces the motion of domain walls or frontsthat propagate into either an unstable or a metastable state. In both regimes,the front velocity is calculated exactly. Depending on the field, the speed ofa front propagating into the unstable state is given either by the so-calledlinear marginal stability velocity or by the nonlinear marginal stabilityexpression. The cross-over between these two regimes can be tuned by a magneticfield. The influence of initial conditions on the velocity selection problemcan also be studied in such experiments. SmC$^*$ therefore offers a uniqueopportunity to study different aspects of front propagation in an experimentalsystem
