To slide one frame to the left is Alt+, for PC or Option+, for Mac. There are a couple of options available here from the shortcuts, slide one frame or 5 frames.
The shortcut is Shift+S for both platforms. The shortcut makes it an easy process to turn off and on as required. There are times you may want to hear audio when scrubbing, however turning it off can have beneficial effects on performance for lower end computers. In addition, turning on looping for this can help to fine tune edits. This is done through the menu via edit > preferences > playback, here I have preroll and postroll set to 4 seconds, meaning that it plays 4 seconds prior and following the point where the playhead is placed. To get the best from this it is necessary to set some options beforehand, as Play Around plays the portion of the timeline around the Playhead, and where it plays is dependent on the options set. Play Around: The same for both platforms and is Shift+K.
Play In to Out: Control+Shift+Space (PC) and Option+K for MacĬlear In and Out: Control+Shift+X (PC) and Option+X for Mac Going hand in hand with the shortcuts for marking, are the keyboard commands for playing clips.
To Clear Out Control+Shift+O for PC, Option+O for Mac. To Clear In the shortcut is Control+Shift+I for PC and Option+I for Mac.
To Mark In use I, whilst to mark Out use O. In addition to marking clips via shortcuts, it is also far easier to mark In and Out points this way. To travel a set number of frames simply type + or – (to signify direction) and the number of frames.īy far the simplest way to mark clips is to use the keyboard shortcut.įor marking clips use X, whilst marking a selection is /.
To go to a specific time code simply type that on the number pad. You can move to a specific time code within the clip, or go forwards or backwards a set number of frames using the number pad. This one works within the program monitor/timeline or source monitor windows, ensure the desired one is active first of course. Using Control and I (Command and I on Mac) brings up the import media dialogue box instantly. Whilst the shortcuts for editing and manipulating clips are extremely important for efficient workflow, it should be remembered that those relating to the basic operation of the program are just as useful, as we see here. The shortcuts are the same for both platforms here. If your program monitor is hidden for instance, you can just press shift+4 and there it is. I'm starting with this one simply because I find it the most used of all, especially if like me you prefer a custom layout for all your windows. I'll include the shortcuts for both platforms with each to make referencing easier. Other than that the functionality is the same.
The PC and Mac versions of the software do share the same basic shortcuts with the one caveat that where the PC uses the Control and Alt keys, the Mac has Command and Option keys instead.
Since every show is cut natively in HD and exported directly for broadcast, I was brought in to make the transition as seamless as possible.ĭylan Osborn and sports editor Brad Feig developed a comprehensive keyboard layout that includes all the 300+ Premiere Pro shortcut options available deep inside the software.Before we step into the most useful shortcuts, a brief note here on the different platforms, although I'm sure most readers are aware. With each show using multiple camera formats (RED, 5D, C300, C100, GoPro, Alexa) and no time for transcodes, Premiere Pro was the logical progression in their post production workflow. They broadcast at least 5 shows per day and their editors work around the clock to hit deadlines. They shoot both in their on site studios and on location all around Southern California. TWCS creates all the on-air and web content for the Los Angeles Lakers, LA Dodgers and LA Galaxy. Some of the 25 edit bays and the Master Control Room at TWCSĮarly in 2015, I was hired by Dylan to train over 60 editors at Time Warner Cable Sports (TWCS) in Los Angeles as they transitioned from Final Cut Pro 7 to Premiere Pro.
