  • Jumping to next clip in Project Browser with keyboard shortcut.

    Posted by Dustin Bowser on August 23, 2014 at 2:22 am

    One little function that I really miss from my brief FCPX days is the ability to jump to the next clip with a keyboard shortcut when reviewing footage. When watching a clip, you were able to just hit the down arrow and the next clip was loaded up in the viewer and you could hit spacebar to play it down. It made watching the dailies a quick process if the hotkeys were used.

    I was curious, is there any way to do this in Premiere Pro without having to reach for my tablet to select the next clip when viewing?

    Thanks for any ideas!

    Up and down arrow is for jumping to the next/previous.
    But you have to set your own shortcut for: select clip at playhead

    I’m not talking jumping between clips in the timeline, I’m talking about clips that reside in bins. It was really nice in FCPX to be able to view all the footage in a bin, and jump between different clips without ever having to reach for the mouse.

    You can view things from your Project tab in the Source Monitor, it just takes a couple of buttonpresses.

    There’s a shortcut called “Open in Source Monitor”; I believe it’s Shift+O by default. (if it’s not set, you can find it under Keyboard Shortcuts – alt+H – and set a preferred shortcut yourself)
    Selecting your Project tab is Shift+1 by default. Then you can use the arrow keys to move around your folders and files.

    Be aware tho that Shift-O is also the default program shortcut for “go to out-point”, so if you have any other panel than the Project or Media Browser selected, it will jump to the outpoint of your currently active timeline.

    just curious – has the process been shortened since then? or does it still take quite a number of hotkeys to get to the next clip?

    Shift – O doesn’t work for me in the browser – just jumps to out point…

    How can we move through footage in the source window without having to move the mouse cursor over the next clip and double-click on it…

    I must be missing something pretty obvious here…
