  • Clip Label Shortcut?

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew a shortcut to change a clip’s color label in the Project Window. I know I can go to Edit>Label>(Color), but that’s two clicks. I yearn for more efficiency.

    I have CS5.5 and have assigned shortcuts for label colours. I used the F Keys so F8 makes it pink. etc.

    Hey,

    I know your post is years old but I was trying to do the same thing, label clips as a color with a single shortcut, but I can’t find any options to do that in the Keyboard Shortcuts in PPro CC 2014.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance,

    ALEX

    The specific answer…

    Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts>

    Click the triangle next to “Edit” to expand the choices.
    Click the triangle next to “Labels” to expand the choices.

    Assign the label a shortcut (click on the specific label and click “edit”).

    When I’m working on music videos, I like to mark clips I’ve used, so I don’t accidentally use a clip twice. Being able to to simply hit ctrl+1 (or a single button on my ShuttlePro2) rather than going through a drop down to mark a clip as “used” is a major time saver.
