It was a pretty long time before I discovered this little trick, but it’s super-useful. Select/deselect all tracks: Ctrl+Shift+click This can be super-useful when it comes to replacing watermarked stock assets with high-quality licensed versions after the client has signed off. But if you want to keep the properties and effects that you’ve added to the existing clip on the timeline, hold down Alt as you drag the new asset onto the old one. (For that, you’ll need the Rate Stretch tool R, but you knew that already.)ĭragging a clip from the Project panel onto a clip in the Timeline will overwrite it. Note that images and mattes can be extended indefinitely, while video, audio, and nested sequences will only be extended as far as their duration will allow. Hitting Shift+Q will change the out point of any targeted tracks to reach the playhead position. I find this one particularly useful for quickly extending the duration of image assets that I’ve just added to a track. This isn’t a targeted function, so if you want to prevent specific tracks from being razored, make sure you’ve locked them off first.Įxtend preview edit to Playhead – Shift+Q Hitting W will Razor all the clips under the playhead and the ripple delete (collapse) them, while Q will razor and delete the clips before the playhead position. I’ll freely admit that I didn’t know about this one for an embarrassingly long time, despite the fact that it’s a primary editing function. The edit points will then be highlighted in red, and you can adjust them accordingly. To do this, hold down Ctrl as you draw a selection area over the required clips. For example, you might need to use the Rolling Edit tool ( N) on multiple clips to adjust their Out/In points simultaneously. Sometimes you might find yourself wanting to adjust edit points, rather than clips. Similarly, Shift+Up/Down will cycle through the next/previous edit points on all tracks, which I tend to use more often. If you’re working methodically through a clip sequence, then using Ctrl+Up will automatically select the next clip on the targeted tracks, and vice versa for Ctrl+Down. This isn’t a toggle, so repeating the command won’t deselect them-for that, you can just hit Ctrl+Shift+A (which is a modifier for the Select All command- Ctrl+A). If you want to select all of the clips on targeted tracks under the current playhead, just tap D on the keyboard. I’m going to assume that you already know the basics like the keys for switching editing modes, and toggling Snap To with S, but I reckon there might be one or two keyboard shortcuts in here that you may not have come across. So if you’re looking at where the greatest productivity gains are likely to be found, then this is probably the best place to start your search. The timeline is, quite literally, where the action is.
