Keyboard Shortcut Exercise

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.
