  • Keyboard Shortcut for Marker Timecode

    Posted by Walin Michi on April 16, 2012 at 4:03 am

    I am new to Premiere so if there is a better way to do what I am asking, please educate me.
    I shoot underwater video and end up with a collection of ~30 second clips. When I am composing a sequence I’ll take 5-8sec cuts from the clips (sometimes multiple from one) and add to timeline. I found that starting with a Mark In it is pretty common to take 5 sec from there which works more than not. To do this, I click the left time marker (on the Source panel) and enter “+5:00” which moves the marker forward 5 seconds, then “O” to mark out. Is there shortcut so that I don’t have to click on the timecode to enter a value?

    There is always more than one way to skin a cat…

    Try this with a full keyboard and the num keypad.
    – With the Source open, tap the + key and enter 500, hit enter key.

    Done.

    Cheers JB

    I only have the Macbook Air, no full keyboard. Can I setup a keyboard shortcut?

    In conjunction with KeyRemap4MacBook I was able to follow your guidance and achieve my goal. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

    Walin, would you mind walking me through this? I am trying to do the same thing and I just downloaded KeyRemap4MacBook but I’m very confused. I cut about sixty 20 second clips a day.

    Thanks,
