For example, you might need to use the Rolling Edit tool ( N) on multiple clips to adjust their Out/In points simultaneously. Sometimes you might find yourself wanting to adjust edit points, rather than clips. Similarly, Shift+Up/Down will cycle through the next/previous edit points on all tracks, which I tend to use more often. If you’re working methodically through a clip sequence, then using Ctrl+Up will automatically select the next clip on the targeted tracks, and vice versa for Ctrl+Down. This isn’t a toggle, so repeating the command won’t deselect them-for that, you can just hit Ctrl+Shift+A (which is a modifier for the Select All command- Ctrl+A). If you want to select all of the clips on targeted tracks under the current playhead, just tap D on the keyboard. I’m going to assume that you already know the basics like the keys for switching editing modes, and toggling Snap To with S, but I reckon there might be one or two keyboard shortcuts in here that you may not have come across. So if you’re looking at where the greatest productivity gains are likely to be found, then this is probably the best place to start your search. The timeline is, quite literally, where the action is. Delete preferences and cache: Shift+Alt.Fullscreen previews: Ctrl+` (Accent Grave).Maximize panel under cursor: ` (Accent Grave).Select/deselect all tracks: Ctrl+Shift+click.Extend preview edit to Playhead – Shift+Q.I’m also assuming that you’re using a Latin-based keyboard with a US layout, and I’ll be using the term playhead and not CTI (current time indicator). Mac users should just swap Alt to Option and Ctrl to Cmd. Usual caveats: Just like I noted in my article on After Effects shortcuts, I’m a PC guy, so I’ll be listing my choices with the Alt / Ctrl key modifiers. And if you get to the end and find that I’ve missed something, please feel free to share it with the rest of the class in the comments section. So let’s take a look at some of the keyboard shortcuts and Premiere Pro tricks I use to make my edits move a little faster. Sadly, there’s not much I can do to move that looming deadline for you, but I think it’s likely that you’ll find a useful Premiere Pro keyboard shortcut or two below. That’s assuming that they look up from the monitor for long enough to hear you ask the question in the first place. Ask an editor “what do you want more of?” and their response is likely to be a hoarsely whispered “ Time… I just need more time.”
