Most applications reserve keyboard shortcuts for the functions that you use most often. It is really good to learn all of these as it will speed up your editing and additionally alert you to functions that the software developers and other users find important. (You can learn much about the software by looking at keyboard shortcuts). Find the keyboard shortcuts for Premiere (hint, film-tv blog) and note four or more functions that you’ve never used before and why they may be invaluable to your editing. (Different functions to what you wrote last semester)
As we are working on a documentary this semester, there are bound to be interviews. CMD+T (Title) was helpful for me to add titles quickly to each and every interviewee in our documentary.
CMD+A (Select All) allowed me to easily select all the videos in my sequence for easy navigation and moving them around to suit my needs, and without ruining what I already put together.
As we used both a DSLR and EX3 for our documentary, M (Marker) allowed me to add markers to my video clips and significantly eased the process of syncing my audio and video together.
