A while back we were introduced to some keyboard shortcuts that could be used in Premiere Pro. I haven’t revisited that document just so I can test what I remember. Also, I pretty much only used the really obvious shortcuts like copy, paste, and export media, so all of the shortcuts introduced were new.
Cmd N – new sequence
Cmd B – new bin?
V – hand tool
C – razor tool
P – pen tool for audio editing
I, O, and comma – in, out markers, and comma will insert clip into sequence
Cmd K – cuts the clip at the point where the playback marker is
JKL – back, pause, forward
To expand the audio channels, another method I remember is to press on the audio tab and scroll down. Still fiddly though.
Disclaimer: some of these are probably wrong, I will check the next time I’m in the edit suites.
Update: Most of these are correct, but the JKL shortcuts are actually used like scrubbing backwards, forwards, or pausing. Not going backwards or forwards to the end/beginning point of each shot – this is done by using the up and down arrows.
