Can these things be done in PPR?
There are some things I would like to ask how and if they can be done in Premiere Pro 2:
1. UNcut a clip. (reconnect 2 clips that were cut… video or\and audio – NOT group)
2. Restore deleted audio on a clip? Sometimes, if you deleted the audio of a small clip from a large file and you need the audio back… to go find that excact part from the source, and having to syncrinize… it seems a lot easyer if you can restore the deleted audio
3. PageDown ignoring locked tracks? I have some tracks that have MANY cuts and some that don’t have lots of cuts. I need to use “page down” (to jump to next cut) and CTRL-D (to add transition) on one track, but don’t want the CTR to stop on every cut of every track… so if the CTR would not stop on cuts on locked tracks, that would be a great help.
4. Shortcut for “CUT”? I move the CTR to a spot I want to cut, then I have to press C for the knife, then you have to click where you want to cut. Is there a way to make a shortcut (say, CTRL-C – that would cut the video clip at the CTR and SHIFT-CTRL-C would cut also the audio – without having to mouse-click it?
Those are my questions. Thanks!

1. Only thing I can think of is to extend one clip past the out point to restore what was cut out
2. If you delete the audio track from a clip it is gone. Based upon the clip’s time code you should be able to go back to the raw footage in the bin and find the same shot.
You can copy and paste a video only clip into a new sequence, export an EDL, open the EDL in a text editor and add the Audio 1&2 using the correct format, then batch digitize that sequence or a new project, which will restore the same clip/s with audio. This will take longer than manually finding the same clip with audio from your original material in your bin. But I have done this for a whole sequence which I somehow captured sans audio.
3. I do not know how to skip cuts on selected tracks when using page down to go to the next cut. If you have recently had a good cup of coffee, however, it should be easy enough to eyeball it even at a rapid pace. Also, if you are like me and do Page-Down + Ctrl-D repeatedly, you needn’t worry about the cuts on non-targeted tracks, so just go for it. You may get some RSI from the extra keystrokes, but at least you do not need to use the mouse.
4. You can assign a keyboard shortcut for cut. I use Ctrl-/ since this is what the Media 100 uses and I worked on that system for years. Look at the keyboard customization menu, you may learn some new features.
