  • can’t find these keyboard shorcuts in FCP X

    Posted by Nick Natteau on June 27, 2011 at 12:54 pm

    Looked through the FCP X keyboard shortcut list and looks like I must have missed it, but can anyone tell me:

    What’s the keyboard shortcut for:

    [1] advancing forward or back in the timeline by the second rather than every 10 frames?

    [2] Rippling forward/back? Keyboard shortcut? Can’t find this anywhere! Do I really have to use the mouse for editing and trimming forward / back?

    When I click “Option+[” to trim forward, my whole timeline window moves more and more to the right, why????

    Not being able to find these keyboard shortcuts, causes my editing to take twice as long now.

    Looks like nearly every single keyboard shortcut is different in FCP X as opposed to FCP7. This is maddening, but I’m determined to learn it.

    I found that some still work, command Z still makes the timeline the size of the edit and things like that. I found that the arrow keys still work to jump to the start and end of clips and go frame by frame. But, I haven’t figured out scrub keys or some of the other basics that older versions of FCP had.

    Have you tried?
    1. “+ 100” on your numeric keypad to advance 1 second.
    2. “,” and “.” to ripple forward and back by a single frame?
