    Posted by Julian Bowman on December 22, 2012 at 12:11 am

    In FCP7 I had a keyboard shortcut i personally mapped to the ` key. When I hit it it would blade through all the tracks on the time line. It is useful for when, say, I bung some audio on the time line and want to trim out the rubbish whilst listening to it play through.

    At the moment in X all i can seem to do at the moment is use the B button to get the blade up and then cut the clip. Admittedly it does still play when i Blade but it isn’t very accurate unless i stop and cut then start again, whereas the ‘ (as it was on my set up) is specific to when i hit the key.

    Please can someone point out how to keymap this feature back to my ` key?

    Cheers

    Cmd-B will do what you want. Or you can remap sonething else that isn’t used.

    All the best,

    good man, thank you very much 🙂

    and sorry to persist, but where is the remapping thing, i can’t find it.

    really appreciate the cmd+b but would rather stick it back on ‘

    cheers
