  • How to jump to previous/next cut in all tracks?

    Posted by Chris Foogs on May 9, 2008 at 2:57 pm

    Hi all,

    a client can’t seem to use the a/s keys to snap to edits in all the tracks. Strangely the audio cuts take priority over the picture cuts.

    eg if there is a cut in the video @ 10:05:05:00 but the sound is solid until 10:05:25:00 – with all tracks selected using the a/s keys, the playhead will skip over the video cut and only stop on the sound cuts.

    One can disable the tracks that you want to ignore, but this is very clunky.

    Can you not have all tracks enabled and simply have the playhead stop on every single cut?

    Many thanks all.

    I believe Alt+A and Alt+S will go to every cut of selected tracks.

    Otherwise, it will stop only at common cut points between all selected tracks.

    That’s great, really appreciate it.

    Now if there was only a way to bind alt+a/s to a single key…

    Open your Keyboard Settings, open your Command Palette(Ctrl+3 on a PC), go to the More tab of your Command Palette, and drag the “Add Alt Key” function to your A and S. They will now act as Alt+A and Alt+S.

    Nice, huh?

    Michael.

    yes, just go to your Settings -> Composer -> FF/REW, check “Ignore track selectors” and have a nice day 😉
