  • Keyboard Shortcut for making a timeline cut?

    Posted by Jack Nastowski on September 9, 2008 at 6:46 pm

    Is there a keyboard shortcut or a menu button that allows you to perform the same edit as the razor blade tool?

    I am using the program “quick keys” and I am trying to automate a task that will move down a timeline via markers (shift + arrow down) and cut through the audio video tracks at each marker location.

    Control-V, though a lot of people like to program the / key.

    All the best,

    Tom

    Jack-

    If you’re going to do that, you have to make sure that all of the autoselect boxes are on.

    Another thought is to have Quickeys hit b three times to select the blade all tool.
