move to next clip
In Final Cut, you can hit the up and down arrow keys and the playhead will jump to the next cut point in the timeline. Avid doesn’t seem to work the same way. Anyone know how to do that?

Pressing the A an S key will jump to previous or next cut, and put you in trim mode. I’m not totally sure this still works, but modifying the key with Alt/Ctrl should get you there without the trim mode

I want to point out that button functions between Avid and FCP are not going to be the same. Up Arrow in FCP may advance to next cut, but Up Arrow in Avid is by default something else. It would be in your best interest while learning Avid to not try to drive it like FCP.
You can map your keyboard though in Avid to allow you to use the keyboard as habitually as you are used to
For example, map FF to the Up Arrow – this will advance you to the next cut using the same button you’re used to using in FCP for the same function, without entering Trim Mode as Jon warned
