A little highlighted area in your sequence will tell you the area you have currently defined. Then move to the end of your sequence (or wherever you want to export up to) and press O to mark the Out Point. You can achieve this by moving your play head to where you want your project to start and pressing I on your keyboard to set the In Point. Set In / Out Pointsīefore you can export your project you have to define the start and end point of your edit. Rather than right clicking reach clip and locating the Speed/Duration option, you can simply highlight the clip(s) and press CTRL + R to bring up the Clip Speed & Duration dialog. I often speed up or slow down my clips to make watching my tutorials more pleasant for the viewer. You can also configure the duration of the default transition in your Preferences. You can mark any video transition as the default transition by right clicking on them in the Effects panel and selecting ‘Set Selected as Default Transition’. Rather than having to dig it out of the Video Effects panel and dragging it onto your timeline, you can simply select the two touching clips and press CTRL + D to add your current default transition to the edit. Most of us use the same transition over and over.

Whether you are creating L / J cuts or are simply wanting to disconnect your audio and your visuals, simply select your clips on the timeline and press CTRL + L to either link or unlink their respective audio and video tracks. To extend the following clip back all the way to your play head, simply press SHIFT + W. If you want to extend the previous clip on your timeline to your current cursor position, you can simply press SHIFT + Q on your keyboard. This is a rather less used shortcut, but a useful one nonetheless. Holding down SHIFT will nudge the clip forward / back by 5 frames at a time. While you could disable Snap Mode (S), drag the clip and then re-enable snap, you are much better off simply using the keyboard shortcuts (SHIFT +) ALT + LEFT / RIGHT. No-one likes dragging clips around the timeline, especially when you are trying to move them just by a few frames. Click on the track name to toggle the active flag (blue highlight) on or off. Note that only the audio and video tracks marked as active will be cut. You can add an edit to all clips underneath the current play head by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + K. Add Edit at Current Play Head PositionĬhanging over to the Razor Tool (C) and clicking on the clip you want to cut is not a very efficient method if you are editing a large project. The keyboard shortcut CTRL + SHIFT + A should sort you out. Sometimes you simply want to unselect whatever you may still have highlighted within your sequence without having to click around the interface.

Here is a full list of all the editing tools at your disposal as well as their shortcuts: Vįor some strange reason, Adobe has not yet added any shortcut keys to the new Type and Shape tools available in Premiere Pro CC April 2017.

Knowing the keyboard shortcuts for your editing tools like the back of your hand is absolutely essential in making sure you don’t waste time during your edits. You can jump the play head to the previous or next edit point using the UP / DOWN arrow keys. Rather than navigating based on frame, it is often much more useful to navigate between these edit points within your project. If you are working with anything beyond a simple project, you will likely have a lot of edits, or cuts, in your sequence. Fortunately, Premiere Pro offers shortcuts to move your play head either by a single frame or by 5 frames at a time with (SHIFT +) LEFT and RIGHT. Scrubbing through your timeline with the mouse can be cumbersome.
