    Ok. This is something incredibly simple and I feel very dumb for not being able to figure it out. I’ve just moved onto CS6 from years on FCP 7 so please forgive me! 🙂

    Slowly figuring out the timeline but one thing is driving me crazy. I should be able to select an edit point and then enter a value to trim, -15, +20 etc. But when I hit the plus or minus keys, it just zooms in and out on the timeline. Have tried everything but can’t seem to figure out how to type in a plus or minus value for a trim directly in the timeline. I can see people doing it in video tutorials!

    Also, how do I quickly show whole timeline. Just like shift Z in FCP?

    Any help much appreciated!

    You need to use the number pad, on the right side of the keyboard.

    I’m not sure what the equivalent of shift z would be.

    Ahhh. The lack of a number pad on my keyboard may have something to do with it!

    Often systems which don’t have a number pad have an alternative way of accessing those keystrokes (such as the Function (Fn) key on Lenovo laptops). Certain Ctrl, Alt, or Command, Option combinations might also do the job. Look into it for your machine and OS.
