  trim to playhead?

  Posted by Adam Welch on July 31, 2006 at 9:40 pm

  I used a feature once in Apple Motion via keyboard shortcut to trim my selection to the current playhead position. Is there a likewise feature in FCP 5.1?
  Thanks so much,
  Adam

  P.S.
  I can’t remember the keyboard shortcut inside of motion anymore either….any help?

  X – marks the current clip
  I – marks an in
  Delete -Lifts the clip without effecting anything down stream
  Shift-Delete removes the back end of the clip, and slides everything down stream to the point of the playhead.

  Note: Be aware of auto-selects when using this technique with multiple layers.

  Alternatively, use O to mark an out and Delete will remove the front end of a clip.

  Have been wishing for the abiltity to script those four keystrokes into a Macro. I use them a lot when roughing an edit in.

  In Motion, select the clip in the time line and hit O.
