User Manual

Key Shortcut Function
Forward-Slash (/) This command works contextually depending on what’s selected in the
Timeline. Plays a section of the Timeline from x frames before to y
frames after (a) the playhead (if nothing’s selected), (b) the currently
selected edit point, (c) the currently selected clip, (d) a selection of
multiple clips. This command is useful for previewing how the current
selection plays within the context of the clips immediately surrounding
it. The pre-roll and post-roll time is customizable in the Editing panel of
the User Preferences.
Command-/ Toggles looped playback off and on.
Down Arrow, Up Arrow Moves both the playhead and selection state to the next or previous
edit point. If multiple clips or edits are superimposed, the first clip on
the lowest numbered track will be selected first, then the next clip up,
and so on until the topmost superimposed clip is selected, before
selecting the next clip in the Timeline.
E Extend edit. Resizes or ripples selected edit points to the current
position of the playhead.
Shift-[ Trim Start. Resizes (Selection) or ripples (Trim) the In point of all clips on
auto-select-enabled tracks that intersect the playhead to the position
of the playhead.
Shift-] Trim End. Resizes (Selection) or ripples (Trim) the Out point of all clips
on auto-select-enabled tracks that intersect the playhead to the
position of the playhead.
Shift-Command-[ Ripple Trim Start. Regardless of whether Selection or Trim mode is
enabled, always ripples the In point of clips on auto-select-enabled
tracks that intersect the playhead to the position of the playhead.
Shift-Command-] Ripple Trim End. Regardless of whether Selection or Trim mode is
enabled, always ripples the Out point of clips on auto-select-enabled
tracks that intersect the playhead to the position of the playhead.
IMPORTANT: While the Slip, Roll, and Slide tools will change the sync relationship of
the clips you’re adjusting with a matching soundtrack, the rest of the Timeline won’t be
affected. Using Ripple can alter the overall sync relationship of large portions of your
timeline and its matching soundtrack, so you should use it with extreme care.
Trimming Using Timecode Entry
You can also use absolute or relative timecode entry to trim clips and edits. What is trimmed
depends on the selection you’ve made prior to entering timecode. If you want to use timecode
to trim the selection forward relative to its current position, be sure to type an equal sign or plus
(= or +) before the timecode value; to trim the selection backward relatively, type minus (–)
before the timecode value.
 To roll an edit: Select the center of an edit point, enter a timecode value,
and press Return.
 To ripple an edit: Select either the outgoing or incoming half of an edit point, enter a
timecode value, and press Return.
