  • frame by frame moving a clip. Where did that shortcut go in CS6?

    Posted by Göran Thorén on May 28, 2012 at 7:03 am

    Hi all!

    I’m used to be able to move or nudge a clip in the sequence frame by frame simply by holding the cmd key and using my left/right arrows.
    And now in CS6 that doesn’t work?!
    Trying to make a new keyboard shortcut for it but I don’t know what that command is called!

    Anyone knows?

    Hi Goran,

    This still works in CS6. It’s called Nudge Clip Selection. Cmd+Left will move the clip 1 frame. Shift+Cmd+Left will move the clip 5 frames.

    Hmm.. strange that this doesn’t works for me, still works in CS5.5 thought…

    I’ll see if I can find that command in the keyboard layot and change it somehow.
    Thank’s Peter!

    It’s called the nudge command and the default is Cmd + Left/Right Arrow for 1 frame or Cmd + Shift + Left/Right Arrow for 5 frames. If you are using the FCP 7.0 keyboard, swap Option for Cmd.

    Yeah–same here. I’m in Win7 and CS6, but I do alt + >, alt + < to move a clip a single frame forward/backwards or shift + alt + >/< to move 5 frames at a time.

    and if I want to move (nudge) a specific number of frames, like FCP where I only write “+1122” and the clip nudges 11 seconds and 22 to the right, or with minus signal: tor the left. Easy, not?
