  • Footage window: no keyboard shortcut for “Set In Point”?

    Huh. AFAICT, there’s no keyboard shortcut (can we just call them hotkeys, Adobe?) for “SET IN POINT” in the Footage window.

    “i” takes you to the existing In point
    CTR+i tries to import files
    SHFT+i doesn’t do anything (visible).

    I’m rather surprised: here’s a situation that could really use a “Set In Point” hotkey.

    Do you know if there is any shortcuts to inser the in out selected in the playhead of the timeline and in under or ontop of the layer selected. It happens if use the overlay edit button it will insert on top of all the layers but if I have 100 layers is not practical… Another way to optimize this?
