How to select next or previous clip in timeline by shortcuts?

[Noah Kadner]

If you have a color board open in the inspector and deselect all clips it will then reflect the clip currently under the playhead. So then jumping to next clip will automatically show that clip’s color board.

Thanks, man! DESELECT all the clips, that is the key. When I was trying, I always already selected one.
You save my day, thanks again!

You can also explore the Select Above and Select Below shortcuts that will select clips above or below your current selection. Command up and command down are the default shortcuts.

Also, if a playhead is over a clip you want, but eh clip is not selected, simply hit ‘c’ which will select the clip in the primary storyline, and if you need to select above it, then hit command up.
